SHIRKED THE MOMENT #poetry by jay

dapper gentlemen in suit
Celebrate?
I’ve turned it down
shirked the moment
for stead/ I pretend

no need exists 
in my human
calendar
created from birth
to now

the moment gone
psssst fluff
a cloud

like dust on graves
and lifeless frowns
the celebration ignored 

muscles taut around
thoughts of pointless
ness ness

dark caught my eye
and i got sucked 
into a vortex 
tex tex 

regret lingers
in my cerebral cortex
tex tex

Piss off you viperβ€”
I’m back!

    Loved your “So Be it” attitude and your word and sound play.
