|
|
<p>a modern aristocracy in the American lands<br />
|
|||
|
|
where some of the most undeserving twats (some, mind you)<br />
|
|||
|
|
are flung into the public sphere<br />
|
|||
|
|
and placed on a pedestal of rose petals and thorns</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>thousands of people move underneath these feet of mine<br />
|
|||
|
|
who has singlehandedly built this city<br />
|
|||
|
|
they move like a swarming school of fish<br />
|
|||
|
|
is this what the fabled gods of old felt?</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>but as I retreat into the supposed safety of my abode<br />
|
|||
|
|
the swarm persists with high-pitched squeals<br />
|
|||
|
|
constant offers for body parts better kept hidden<br />
|
|||
|
|
and shrieking ruminations about what goes on in these walls</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>is taming the millions of wasps outside my front yard<br />
|
|||
|
|
each and every day, pervading all hours of the clock<br />
|
|||
|
|
worth the admiration that one gets for a job well done?<br />
|
|||
|
|
sometimes I feel like disappearing</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>not that I haven’t already to myself.</p>
