Last One Of These, Ever

 



(Back Again?)

(Apologizing...?)

(TsTsTs!)

(Maybe Not!)



No Offense


Is It Too Late Anew 

For You To Tell Me 'Sorry'

Even Though You Can't Deny 

I Never Did You Any Harm?


Do Forgive Me For Just Hoping 

That Perhaps This Time You'd Hear Me

And For Hoping That You'd Know.


All I Get Is Competition

For That Lonely Spot "High Up"

Without Which You Cannot Be

And Where I Don't Want To Go.


So No Matter What The Theme

Of Past Conversations May Have Been

Mostly Designed To Overthrow.

"I Shan't Ever Again 

Let YOU Try To Turn ME

Into Your FOE!"


(Just So You Can "Win" and "Rule.")

upper layers



upper layers


well-dressed women

powerful-vehicled young men

fancy restaurants

to serve as backdrop

for fancy outfits

all that

only goes so far

and mostly

not terribly deep

it's just

nice to look at

or remember

and 

forget

to make space

for better things...
