the symphony

within a single note... is it over then?

played from within a single note

i always have to explain the joke

because i am still the funniest guy i know

layered like the scramble

artificial inspiration and immediate gratification

still listening

still nothing

still, i proceed

silent through he coded shafts of sunlight and shadow

through the architecture

witnessing a moment of illusion

watching the deception

still silent

taking it all so seriously

extraverted mysticism

witchy extravagance

just to be seen

just, to be known

letting them

overall, seven knightly coins and so many wands to stir the pot

defenses up

passing legacy and wishes twisting trouble

classic bad guy

hazardous, problematic, and inferior

beware of yourself

clarity i possess

parts of the process

trading choices

prepared for unexpected spotlights

painting silver lines another color

seeing where the smoke and dust settle

blending in

waiting for judgment to pass itself

questions of betrayals once hidden

conflicted interests

communication and boundaries

balance of extremes

is it over then?
