to another abyss

not long ago

and yet the image is so vague

i hesitate to label it a memory

there was a show of local color and i felt astray

cause i had nothing to offer but insufficiency

and you know that it's such a bitch

when you learn to scratch that itch

of blatant fallibility

sooner to some

but eventually

all gets pointed in the same direction

while the human masses and their vague conceptions

obliterate each other with impunity

and you wonder

what's in this for me?"
