words – collected letters forced to share space between the confines of punctuation. declarations of allegiance predetermined – emotion implied -conviction assumed. and there, behind the presumption of solidarity; silhouette of faceless expectation. so easy, it seems, fulfilling obligations of (presumed)concern. mimicked expressions of empathy. disposable trust. how fervent our prayers – for consideration. how ambitious our desire – for extemporaneous acceptance.

need –
grasping at threads of hope –
a breeze merely blows away…
