A Puff Of Air
I’ve analyzed accomplishment,
I’ve me-oh-my’d achievement;
I’ve listed fame and reputation,
How it feels and what it gives,
(how it felt and what it gave);
The money gain, and what it brought,
The flatter-satis-
Faction
That was sought
And won
And at the same time, none
of these.
Mostly, sometimes, always –
Never;
Every word a concept-phrase, a phase
And in the end, a puff of air;
An I-don’t really-care-it doesn’t-matter, patter
Glib, an empty fib, semantic gibberish,
Emptied, slowed,
With no place on this earth to go.
It isn’t pleasant.
Left inside – the present:
Not one bit of optimism,
[maybe just] a hint of hope;
All the rest a “Nope,
‘this is a puff of air” its definition.
Revelation
Isn’t always fair
(With no one really to complain to.)
