&
if one could bundle up consciousness,
trick told fibs vomited upon earliest memories,
there would be no confounded stagment mess;
tiss-tiss naive heart,
though blaming solves not,
it doesn't stop progress being torn apart
- time and time again
buried far beneath saturated sands,
has effort been compromised of no longer strong hands?
Miffed mine sleeve carries much weight than should demand;
shall baggage be lugged if only by silent stagehand,
off & swaying into some fanciful dreamland -
now...
Who's forcing hope within tiny pipe dream can?
