Human Proverbs

 

Can’t say much. The party is lethal. One remains unendorsed.     It never seemed so backwards, forward thinking, listless, taciturn, and latent.     I’m not as I thought; nothing

 

major; it often happens—one sees a reflection in its wilderness: drugs don’t help; lying isn’t permitted; no one is deceived, nor listening to makeshift reality.     I could meet a

 

dream. It seems possible. Most often in three parts.     We side with appeal; the dense dance; another would take a shot.     So underrated. We hate it. Most are sober, more are

What horrible things would they reveal? The waltz you tiptoe, the people in disgust, the illness, sickness, the bile and vile permanence.     So charged to keep peace. People hate

 

you.     I have a few disgruntle; one more so. I have been the vinegar and honey and now the silence is eating skies. Another would drag a cigarette, grab a pen, do a ritual, and get

 

at it.     Another is skilled. Mother would be intrigued. She would apologize and ask for the formula, and become the greatest disciple.     I gave what was breathing in me; too

 

much was dead in me; no one noticed much, until the upheaval, the oozing out.     Bring the diaries, shatter the illusion, open the records. They tell the tales of the forgotten and

 

wide awakened. The same exact formula with over fifty people. The same burden. To tell such a tale. To have influenced with lucre. Most are disgusted. Many became proverbs.
