...Vanilla victories over inner wars,
Sisyphean speeches to oneself.
Tarnished trophies shoved in drawers,
endless errands placed on the shelf.

Purposeless projects of predication,
purport prisms...

A seed grown in shadow

It germinates in brains as a tormentor—

Our pockets never stay complete.

The quest for riches, a human plight
