Where do we go -

when our rosebuds
stop still in the cold,
unwanted,

forest alone, 
there we meet 
strange creatures -

some say 
they...

once read between pages of hardcopy in school 
were aptly ignored - 

however, 
our Overlords were...

Pariah heap - savagely subjecting myself to humiliation
Pariah heap - savagely subjecting myself to humiliation

Outward slovenly appearance bespeaks volumes
wordsworth their weight in gold
(exhumed from the pith

beclothed with mottled skin)
