Opting for Disdain
I shed the cautions of
social order, opting for
disdain—a vestige psyche
reappearing from my youth,
when I envisioned swords
and windmills—notions
of noble causes, which
slowly eluded me.
Just passing time
these days, musing on
power mongers turning
against each other, and moon
lovers desperately chasing
fantasy lives prophesied by
their horoscopes.
We disparage our greatness
and accept the path of
least resistance.
