A forced, facsimiled smile
crept upon my weary face
to help construct the wall between us
although its design is in poor taste.
It’s as if mankind colluded
albeit leaving out few and far between
to create a solipsistic kingdom ruled by masks
while truth lay dormant in the unseen.
Should I shatter the aporia
That occludes our interaction
Or propitiate the insipid bond we share
to neither of our satisfaction?
**** I need some coffee.

while truth lay dormant in the unseen.
Should I shatter the aporia

Or propitiate the insipid bond we share

I guess I wasn’t feeling very peppy that day.
