HIGHER!
roared from behind covert glued-shut doors,
perched higher than Everest altitudes -
we lifted him up, just as he asked
all of the love bombs and promises -
to mask the lack of bare minimum
became overwhelmingly vast…
the promises to carve a better future
shrunk slowly to sight-unseen
replaced with some brand new shiny thing
never once needed, not once asked.
our arms grew tired as time went on
upon the epiphany that we’d been
lifting a facade of a soul, a lame
forever popping those encased
bodega store viagra pillies -
just to get a tic tac up,
just may be karma enough.
say big?
father, let’s be for real…
for the Lord himself knows -
you don’t own that great claim,
that you seemingly tend to squeal.
