unnatural existence

August 27th, 2014 § 0 comments

Poem #398 for Joanne Ruocco

 

Urban existence in itself is unnatural

completely artificial

which can only conclude that everything  within it

is as well

(bartender just underpoured me)

(my sarcasm is not always welcomed)

the vanity of…

(oh, shut up…

lighten up, Francis)

Urbanity consists of finding a way to matter

(if I returned, it would be for the wrong reasons…

vanity, lust, ego…the holy trinity of entertainment)

it would all be too easy

and I like my new life

Cake is meant to be eaten

it does not have to be mine

 

You hear that?

That is the clash of the ages colliding right in front of us.  Patient storytelling with characters, time, elaborate sets and rich scenery playing against the unfocused twink who needs nuance logicized.

 

The hard truth has to come out.
