sacrifice optional

[artolmaeus]

sometimes there is no repair plan
no plan for when you break yourself
no forge or melted gold to rejoin
sometimes, there is no plan at all
oh, there are stories, at least three
good, bad and one with no charge
you pay for the tickets, you ride the rides
and it ends short of expectation
sometimes you are broken and broke
and so you limp around, no one really tests that
while you watch and wonder 🤔
are you inside looking out
and how thick the glass

[anirbas]

How thick the glass I test it
Laying my palms against it I caress the wall
Gleaning nothing but the bitter bright feel
Of brittle obduracy ready to gaily slash
Me to jagged pieces if I chance escape
From this cage of pristine transparency

[artolmaeus]

what a beautiful word, obduracy. I have never experienced it. like finding a near mint gold coin lost by Columbus from

isabella and Ferdinand. I yield all my bonus points for this!!  my vocabulary is richer...man oh man it is a word that resonates to me. thank you
