Perpetual Quandries of Dischord

Permanent irreversible Attatchment disorder
A lemonade stand at the Mexican Border
A traumatised disorganised old lady hoarder
The incriminating evidence on an old tape recorder 

Elements of discontent shivering through a crowd 
Firmaments of promises...

Let me show you your own death, 
Night can fall in many ways, 
Every time a friend betrays,

Nobody loved like they did 
those nights splayed
like open books, 

soggy foils at humid peace, 
at least until the next

I enjoy when people quote the Word,
And find it disagrees with what they’ve heard.

Secrets for all their guise
tremble in dark
in shadows protection
yet still feel the penumbras chill
concealed away in their selective box

As by some adolescent fear

Looking for time on roads causes wonder
Where will they lead, here, there or under
Possibly an object to hold in the hand
But seeming more nebulous flowing like sand

in search of highs, pursuing thrills,
neglecting that he'd been endowed
with gifts to cultivate and till.
He wandered where his heart did please,
