VAnity & other forms of un-flattery (cave canem edit)

this is the beginning of something miserable
harsh and electric -
shocked by my findings

the hub of your spinning pupils is awesome
taking in light and love and all things you can't obtain

you hide from the truth like the plague
bones narrowed in defense positioned
like prey, rather than the predator you are

without circusmtance a cuckoo with woman veneer
nuts and bolted to the frame of dementia

like clockwork the tick searches for its
other half and you scramble for meaning --
to something that owes you no d e f i n i t i o n

it will remain untarnished after your obsession
has run its course or your life is expired -- whichever comes first
