tarnish

 

it's a clear day, but I can't see
the answer, inside 
of me
 
the sky is blue 
and directionless, just like
You
 
and stagnant at that
but not generic
are the precious few
made on 
a different mold
 
follow the herd, decide
to
confide, in
the great
compromise 
 
oh, Ignorance
 
oh, Joy
 
so it goes,
erroneous axiom
indeed
 
apocryphal rectitude
necessary 
to get, bye
 
some float 
like clouds, on vacuous 
achievements
and
monumental insignificance
 
chasing futile futures
thinking they will grow, old
 
sometimes
they don't
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
but for one small tarnish
on dulled chrome
it would be sold as silver, the story

my own
