Intriging Dignity


Jaded circumstances in eggshells
Not needy and hardly hearty
Those gestures and medical grin
flumoxed by the bar queue
and reasonable restraint with
yellow painted lines around the lie
forget the main object for a while and
season the child
give a little bit of your time
make it important to them
because they know they are
something you stopped being
a long time ago
and they want you to know

it seems you treasure every moment
as thought it were your own and then
the saddening measure of how alone
and beneign being together and

wearing feathered mask
that say
to be good
is evil
when you are not good

but to be evil when
you are evil
is still evil.

Being good is hard
but the rewards are part
of the lay of each
carefully laid card
