I've been standing on a cloud all day
watching the people underneath
Half starved idiots carved from whale bone and painted with glitter
walking
in and out
of every corner
a mouth sore and dry discontented eyes
There is no joy in life right now
except for small things
she cannot paint
it's gone
the most beautiful story has ended
and these words which started with so much potential
have fallen flat
to delight
of this
audience |
