Resigned<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I throw my hands high--<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
once again, you steal momentum,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
letting me know you're smarter,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
classy, much above the life cut.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I don't buy you're <br>
<br>
<br>
smug, precise convictions with yourself as<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
glowing star.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Again, I wonder who you <br>
<br>
<br>
really are, beneeth the cool,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
yet merky control.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Too sweet, your words are even,<br>
<br>
<br>
fixed in place like ice cubes<br>
<br>
<br>
squarely contained. Strange to think <br>
<br>
your world hasn't moved or reshaped <br>
<br>
one inch.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Are you satisfied? Resigned?<br>
<br>
It baffles me and makes me crazy,<br>
<br>
like screaming in a hall of<br>
<br>
beveled mirrors.<br>
<br>
