I feel like something profound and meaningful should be espoused from this platform; words wise beyond their years - a message of some purpose or consequence. There is nothing. I pretend to dig deep, but the words are pa**ionless, derivative…the sentiment is painfully
hollow. Slumped over in a chair once hoped forgotten, facing enemies pa**ed as quick fixes to greater, deeper set issues. Suitable diction proves elusive – as my mind dances like a mongoose ‘round a cobra - but I’ll bury broken muses; my own hidden Burgess Shale. Pull up
another black hood, warming my cold weathered hands, curl up in lose fit flannel and self-preserve.
