[ satirical wonder ]

satirical wonder
  of the globe

hidden away on an island
    even now
    influencing the outcome

the spring of the glacier
    will have to happen without you

  I see no cat
  nor a cradle

just a corpse;
          outlived by less talented
                          who live in spite of how worthless they are


    you knew the true value
of knowing nothing

hush… the cynic in you
    found the cynic in me

and I rejoiced in my love for
    an inevitable
disheartening truth of death



    as I was about to go on stage to say your name
  in a quiet whisper
        you floated on
and my whisper became a sob
    and my lecture became an ode
       

you and Ceasar
  finally share in the knowledge
of what is really going on

  yet I pay no attention
as the world silences the black
  humor and irony –
  chanting your name

    guilty of being fabulous

    can we hang out sometime. I need to sing someone my songs to see if they're actually any good.
