DELUSIONS OF LOVE
PICTURES OF THE CHANGES
THAT I HAVE MADE
SINCE THEN
AND THE SMILES
ONLY HALF GIVEN
AND THE EYES
THAT ARE ALIGHT
AND DRIVEN
BY WHAT USED TO BE
THE FANTASY
OF WHAT WE NEVER WERE
AND SO WHAT ARE WE NOW
BUT THE EMBODIMENT
OF OUR FAILURE
TO MASTER THE INTRACACIES
AND SIMPLICITIES
OF OUR HUMAN COUNTERPARTS
AND YET CHOOSE
TO BELIEVE
THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE
THE OLDER WE GET
THE MORE GLARINGLY
OBVIOUS
OUR BANKRUPT SOULS
AND THE FUTILITY
OF OUR ATTEMPTS
TO FILL THE MANY HOLES
INTO WHICH WE FALL
WITH RANDOM PRECISION AND SUPRISE.
