Thales Twin

(for those who practice poetry - a caveat)

Few will understand you,
much fewer less will care.
Everyone will think you mad,
and they won't be wrong there.

Friends will flee, abandon you,
parsons will curse your name.
You wander all streets aimless,
your work brings you infame.

Falling into wells is just
the price of starry rhyme
to guide weary travelers,
when Sun has run the sky.
