blather

Wasandru to you, i turned,
for what i no longer know

then as now,
seeking either entrance or escape.
perhaps i went about it wrong.

there was no guide, so...
i tried to send back out
the things i had enjoyed taking in,
this netted mostly ire,
so now i shall stop.
why bother?

resignation is not a pity party,
though the brash ire of
a young spirit
readily mistakes one for the other.

there were no consolations
upon these cold blue pages,
but then, there seemed as if
there would be no burning, either.

but there is much burning.
the men fight,
on countless pages,
for reasons unknown,
in spite of the starships and
in spite of the golfing.

it will please the angry one
to know that his sharp words
hurt, after all.
may it assuage his own raging emptiness
to have visited sadness upon another,
alone,
alone they all are,
kicking and flailing furiously

i, yet another scapegoat,
for yet another's misplaced despondence.
