People often say that the reason for art is to make this lonely world a little less so. Summers are always lonely. The sun gleams down in its bright, intimidating gaze No! Don't expect me to have fun I'm not being called to do any of the sort I'll open the shade, and put out a rug Just for a touch of color But that means nothing anymore. No to me. Not in my ever-hazing shades of dullness All paling--impaling everything I live for The stupid things I value In a meaningless collage But oh! You said I am loved. Why don't you sample this world I give you now And we'll see how long your selfless chivalry can trek on. I'm sorry.
