Hugging the Cool
Tap dance through life if you must
munch all the gum drops that it offers
paint a million roses on misty mirrors
denial always tap-taps along rainbows
but never roots the truth from darkness.
You frolic in waters different than mine
a fantasy stream always half smiling
what you call living life to the fullest
is really a life filled with half a shine-
Most everyday my heart is eclipsed
as I sip the brackish waters of truth
for it's the only cure for societal blindness
but I don't like ugly anymore than you do-
I prefer slogging slowly through thorn and grist
while you tap tap a path of fools gold and petal
but when life closes the blackest of curtains
we'll be hugging the same cool breast of death-
