Silver, Sharp And Could Not Care |
The following day I did some walking, for my mind did too much talking to |
itself, and so I walked along and thought of our last episode, and that |
somehow it had eroded feelings from my closely guarded core. |
And also then |
I knew corruption leaked into this last eruption, and its oily odor stayed |
around. |
Long ago I knew that I was sly, perhaps, and not too nice, but |
underneath I thought my goals sublime. |
BUt now, how could I tolerate |
behavior that could suffocate contentment in my friends and maybe more? |
Desire conflicted in my mind with thoughts I once had found divine and |
tormet twisted me between the two. |
Aimlessly I slowly wandered, as my |
footsteps took me onward to a part of town I did not know. |
Soon I saw I was distracted by a window that was acting as a display for a |
barber’s store. |
and what was underneath my stare was silver, sharp and |
could not care about confusion or about despair. |
It only had one job to |
do, and when it cut it cut so true that now I knew exactly what to do. |
So |
I went inside and bought it from a man who never caught the tingle that it |
raised along my spine, electrically a pleasant tension, like a liquid in |
suspension flowed into the conflict in my head. |
And now my feeling was |
well being, but I could not help fromeeing that my hands were shaking as I |
paid. |
And as I left, my thoughts returned to what I told them they had |
learned through our ordeal of torture and delight. |
Yes, it was a lie I |
told them, not to help but just to hold them with me, but I really should |
have said, «Lies can often give you power like a coffin filled with |
flowers give life to the living, not the dead.» |
