*accept this*

by & large the herd is average
& while this is no reason to hate them,
it is certainly no reason to love them
…accept this little death

…the heart squeeze moment,
when a good friend becomes a
hypocrite
…accept this little death

…finding you’ve nothing at all,
valuable or worthless, to throw into
the drunken bonfire
…accept this little death

… the oddly welcome weariness
arising from the incessant balancing
of ache & joy
…accept this little death
