The Top Hand

(Or, How We Seek Shelter...)

Dismissive Acceptance
Is In An Oddity...

Will We Relax Un-Satisfied
As Ridiculous Laughter
Uncases Us?

The Wrapping, Once
Removed, Discarded?

I'm Nosy, What's Inside
There, Laughing Superior
At Whatever We Ever Become?

...Ever Are?

Aren’t You Curious?
