a shallow doppelganger

open yourself to the plausability of a silent wandering
a probe for intimacy neer present
how can you let your surface crumble
while defenses lie in baiting
regardless of your demands?

and can you suffer that shallow dip
into an Ego and Fury gone amock?
look….look to that core
admit to the One that howls from the cradle
the "one" that never inherited
any stroke of genius the pater cozened
and with arms hung stiff and useless beside
all attempts to response at entry due….

this need for cruelty
this need that leads to a future diffidence
is it an all-out forsaken race
the one to end all bounds?

I think not, since your marginal reawakenings
slicked with an afterlife all their own
deny all categories, whether prescient or inanimate
while the one, Itself wailing and lost on the shore of convenience
flounders in a self-made retribution

you would think a virtus had emerged
whole and imperius, refreshed and reprehensible
but alas…..tis only….
