Outside approval is ten times more common, twenty less important, and thirty more strived for The ****** of everyone talk and talk and talk and say little to nothing. Ideas after idea after thought is thought inescapable, different, a singular miracle How unique am I, the harlot giggles, but inwardly, outwardly he is coolly solemn, How clever for that, he says And ****** by the ones who shift the glass And turn off the fluorescence of compassion, he is unchanged, untouched, unbothered. It’s the careless who care about the less of caring-ness, And lost are the ones with the maps etched on their palms by benevolence, And cold are the ones who say what they must to avoid what they should, and what they say is silence. And what the ones who know cry for is forgiveness, For the misstep, for the crushing blows they intend to land On the faces of those who think that the brilliant room will make them glow, Those sick q-tip figured devices Who ravage the lighting, the upward slipping, causeless miracles, Those ‘flightless’ birds, with no song, who soar for themselves out of caring eyes, And past. Applause to the harlequin-assumed, Who prance on in beautiful spectacle, laughed at; gluttonous and thick, Forgive me.

A Sincere Note Written For A Friend
Outside approval is ten times more common, twenty less important, and thirty more strived for The ****** of everyone talk and talk and talk and say little to nothing. Ideas after idea after thought is thought inescapable, different, a singular miracle How unique am I, the harlot giggles, but inwardly, outwardly he is coolly solemn, How clever for that, he says And ****** by the ones who shift the glass And turn off the fluorescence of compassion, he is unchanged, untouched, unbothered. It’s the careless who care about the less of caring-ness, And lost are the ones with the maps etched on their palms by benevolence, And cold are the ones who say what they must to avoid what they should, and what they say is silence. And what the ones who know cry for is forgiveness, For the misstep, for the crushing blows they intend to land On the faces of those who think that the brilliant room will make them glow, Those sick q-tip figured devices Who ravage the lighting, the upward slipping, causeless miracles, Those ‘flightless’ birds, with no song, who soar for themselves out of caring eyes, And past. Applause to the harlequin-assumed, Who prance on in beautiful spectacle, laughed at; gluttonous and thick, Forgive me.
