spent
not his youth
but
his current teetering seniorhood
fake
believer in what appears to be
an empty room
for the lesser evil
star studded
wallpaper as an option
(no thank you
i'll keep my faux pas rather than)
essential
incrementalism
too little too
late
maybe rubbing
shoulders
with talkers
who go over my head
as i try
to throw up my verbal defenses
usually
failing
borrowing
from camus and simple rebellion
telling my
friend the obvious
that this
might be our last go around
the
imprint left on the trail outside
is our
only truth
coming
from our mostly honest bare feet
making
the journey to ashes or dust
one for
celebration
