THE FLY

Folder: 
JOURNAL #22

I could make you do a double take

if I allowed the real me to awaken

and venture out onto

life's precarious stage

and you would gape to be quite

truly amazed

if you really knew what I was up

to and there for about

I am proof

a vision less grace

that one can fool the world

and still elusively seem to look

like that of a great impervious leader

the media is such a shallow feather weight's

fool

yet inside

I know that I can only fool you for just

so long

dear vaguely observant blank faced seer

I would give you a special spot on which

to park all your yet to be made known

complaints about me on

but only if I were the one wisest to

complain to

sadly enough, I laugh I am not

there for

this poem's point is quite moot

to another's obvious plateau of

unreasonable reason

why in short

it sucks

and rather ridiculously

but I can say that

you see

because such a small thing

as foul opinion

does not harm me

I am 'The Fly'

a most my optic thing of

me to say

laugh now

as you are insane

a true true state of mental

freedom

no doubt..........
