THE TIME WE’VE LOST LOOKING FOR OTHERS

A sugar cube submerged in my coffee
A drop of milk gives it a different shade
Do you mean this was just a dress rehearsal?
Are you sure you know the meaning of cascading?

They slide on by
I’m a voyeur
I’m a spy

Newspaper headings speaks about cataclysms
Nepotism
The fragrance of appending schisms

The devout slumberous
Coiled and dusted
Withered and rusted
Hiding in rituals
Rituals and fantasies blended
Draconian laws implemented
