Incidentally

A poem

In eternal twilight I live

Not asking for anything

Only by demanding from myself

Things no one ever dreamed of

-

Hidden in the darkest recesses of their minds

This is why

They tend to sneak, squirm, stoop, and scoop up

The best parts for themselves

-

Without knowing that

Skimming over deep waters

Requires

Resilience, robustness, repentance

-

For all the din

Drumming in the tiny tin world

From the upper class

Biting the lower lip

-

As a result

Of yesterday’s crunchy cringe

At too many credentials

Squealing in the backdrop

-

Of the common folks’ faults

Causing a stir

In someone

Not used to the view of it

-

May – August 2022
