Poets Escape by Odin Roark How willing This heart and mind Absorbing pain's daily prose Global flagellation becoming Best sellers Top Box-office Google's lifeblood Whether Syria's dismemberment Washington's absurdity Or Hollywood's Grand Guignol Follies Exhausted passions and intelligence Clutter synaptic duty Excused as collateral damage Everyday wars of fear Slowly accelerate This self-destructive countdown Repeating Time's insidious cycle Ashes to ashes Dust to dust While few escape Some find refuge In the manifestos of metaphor Using echoes of cranial madness Illusion's manic voice Mumbling through the night Arranging similes This is like that That is this Until... Dream's phosphoreal mirage Becomes imagination's reality Layered tapestry hanging firm Mind's needlework in progress Becoming woven experience To shroud forever Weakness's acquiescence For what? For whom? Poets know not They just are
