REALTY

Lips and tongues
are the burden
of “sum.”

Bleeding to the core
while pretending
life isn't a chore,
who could
ever ask for more?

Moronic trepidation
and scalawag prophecies,
tomorrow’s claimed virgin
already gave birth
to yesterday’s martyr.

We all dance
at the ball
played in our head.

Taking the lead
requires a mask
and a lie
while pandering
dream soaring pilots
think
they can fly.
