Dead End Window

There’s no one like you, but everyone’s like me.

We all like different things and a

Coal-black diamond Democracy.


We study humans and the

Misunderstanding of an inquiring mind.

Something more and

Something like a sneer are kept

Under lock and key.


I’ve been

Surviving inches away from life

Like a perpetual bad hair day

That’s my death’s story.


Interior castles crumble singing a

Song for the broken.

I believe in love and old fashioned responsibility,

But what would I know about that.


Here's my life lived in whole years.

Sanctuaries are quiet even as

A million voices scream for

One more round.


Is life an educated guess or

Is the answer in the footnotes?

The next big thing is often

Foolish.


By the way,

Who is the hegemonic “they”?
