One Small Victory

Living the dream with bouts of insomnia. Struggling with unfair demands of good faith. Strength of the absurd I've heard they're on to you And with the intrinsic value of clay. White flags waving over your winter chimneys Accepting defeat with no loss of face. Don't waste breath on me, y'know what the truth is Carry yourself with an auspicious grace. With both of us wrong were I to agree. You'll grant me this one, this one small victory Wake up a stranger in the land of promise. Then get back n'find that not so much has changed. Mornings glory was anything but honest. Tidy lill' trap in a dec'rative frame. Clearly out of view, loud, good at what I do Get what I want, things should work out just fine. Never put the hood over tactile values Myopic thugs, most faulty by design A prerequisite of our future history. It belongs to me, this one small victory. With both of us wrong were I to agree. You'll grant me this one, this one small victory

A nicely constructed, pleasing to read and interesting poem...perhaps with deeply personal and private messages that may be somewhat more clearly interpreted by the reader with the addition of, perhaps, a name or two, or some other small clues.

yes, good points. I might come back to this and try to make more of it. Thanks Leo Larry Amadore.
