your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
so much to do, so much to see
to bring us sugar and rum and tea
we'll take our leave and go
you'll never shine if you don't glow

so much to do, so much to see

we'll take our leave and go
you'll never shine if you don't glow
what can we agree on?
everything decays, orbits shift
even February twitches a little to the left
every four years. tiny imperfections
in the lens, and each lens made of
different space dust. the calibration
off, just a smidge of a gap,

flat through the waves of pain
but each new step could take you
off a cliff
into a riptide
back to shore

My shattered visage lies half buried with a sandy sneering frown,
The sculptor carved my arrogance upon these broken lifeless things,
My name is Ozymandias, the self-describèd King of Kings!

a chill in the air
my face a mask of makeup
as I don my costume
tying it all together
with a pearl necklace
and a smile to rival a vampire's –
dead inside

tied the key to my happiness
to a hope as flimsy and faraway as a kite
no insight into the storm.
the lightning was galvanizing, though
my hope was, in the end, charred
