Cracked Glass

inside the cupboard of the mind

desire for loneliness supersedes

public opinion as instinct rests

in a dark, black alley with the

rest of the rats that freely roam the

city once thoughts are dismissed;

traitors of the right that have gone

to the liberal left cannot be blessed

without seeking redemption

from those who take their place

and must also hide in these

dark alleyways until discovered;

readers review the credentials

of the dying writers and decide

that too much knowledge is

not near enough to escape the

ravages of the mind once it has

been discovered that all the

glasses in the cupboard are cracked.
