Paper Tigers

(“we” is the sum of all of my parts)

“we” pull hard to push forward,

Ere our ways.

You are here;

not where you want to be.

Grand Illusion.

*

These cavernous chasms;

Separate all… divide us.

Wax and wane “we”;

work from the same script.

180.

*

“we” are the impotence for,

Stelliferous red flags.

Put at odds with;

our super-ego.

Proviso.

*

On the periphery,

Rising like paper tigers;

An odd Formation.

“we” knock ourselves down,

Subtle Roar.

*

Prosecute an intangible War;

Dearth of a deathly hue.

Knock down a disease,

“we” recollect and reconstitute.

Panacea.

*

Memento Mori;

I must not feign,

All I embody and gallican.

Be rudiments of.

Sacrosanct.
