DISSIPATE

 

Now we’re hitting

into all the clichés;

the clever wordplay

and sharp line cuts

begin to dissipate

 

it’s cold, I’m sick

and willing to use

any excuse

that comes to mind

 

Ironic,

a low moment,

at a peak period

when perfect it looks

it truly isn’t

 

struggling to find

a passageway

to slither out of here

 

and I’m still looking

at high season

or low season

it’s doesn’t ever seem

to reveal itself
