Got a Laugh Out of No One | Janel H.
Greedy minds
tell fake fortunes.
A bottle of reason you keep in the freezer
closed cupboards
hide expired jam.
Pleading the increase of sanity.
Numbers…
Watch the reaction seep out
like a tired liquor glass.
Pull the seam apart;
Stitch
by
Stitch.
This works in your favour
This time
Eyes that are evi –
eyes that lie.
Hard, stupid steps fill the concrete with pain.
Only the light stays confused.
Power…
You try to take control over nothing
to make yourself feel better.
Reality isn’t the one scared to face you.
Pointless pointing fingers stop the clock.
Just stare until it goes.
Stupidity saves lives
and destroys them.
The granite melts away.
