She now feels nowful
Pow-wowful
Not woeful or Powerful
just Glowskull
Whereas he was once going to stick it out
And better than dying is giving up
Withdrawing in
Drawing on all that had brought him down
To drown out what has come to be "around"
Whereas he loved her inside out
Whereas she vowed to never kowtow
Whereas most would find a peace in this
The lasting impression was one of brattiness
A brassiness
Rashness
Rashomon in a village of idiots
Ten stories told two different ways
Over and over again
Talking to the backs of heads
Wanting to punch them
Square between the blades
That life too
Meaningless
Whereas one might see the need
for intervention
It's not bad to start the day with drink
Every once in a while
Forgetting to work
or pay for things
Maybe derailing
or misaligning
Hopping in an open boxcar
Meeting Steve Perry
Orange Blossom Special
or wherever
Whereas it might be a beast of a burden
The soul had no weight
No oomph that one could speak of
Let alone find, isolate, manipulate
Just a running banter
some joke
that can only be told to close friends
or complete strangers
Some proof of gravity
Besides dropping the other shoe
Whereas this line of dialogue
could go on forever
A foreseeable end would come
Where all things create a terminus
As all things must make a rest
where there is unrest
A stop where there is only go
These are shown in music
By using some fancy symbol
Like a dash or hyphen
An ellipse or a zig-zag
These show up in art
as fruit
or flies around eyes
In documentaries as fades
Whereas this could end at any time
It could only end here
