poking a bubble with the head of a needle without a burst, I drag the sharp end across your skin you said it burns, I was so afraid of what I might feel if i actually let myself free, if only I wasn't so prideful id still be lovable.

Suddenly, from a distant past,
my eyes flash with recollection:
I've been here before --
Not to say another life, but,
another moment in time.
How do I defeat the enemy,
when the pattern -- mistake,
ownership, and growth --
keeps repeating?
Do I keep emulating
this useless thing,
when the distance I see,
or at least seek, shows
no signs of an enemy?
***** nilly sillies
point flagrantly
at every happy clown,
wagging finger, dismayed,
sending to wind "For shame"s.
Historians have always known,
you could always leap frog
the copy/pasted placement
of seasons as if to say
we're changing.
One person's happiness
is the next one's disaster.
Think other thoughts.
You're a master.
