no deeper hurt
than being
thrown away;
disposable - relevance,
bio-de-grade-able - is...

unnecessary -
persistence to suppose.
what value referendums 
of remorse;
subjugation over the absence of those to impose?

opportunity -
tickets punched on train-cards of can;
discarded.


what if -
tossed from open windows of doubt.
trailing unopened parachutes -
of can't.

and there –without warning

(blown effortlessly away)

strong wind of indifference –

paper dreams crumbled –

set sail to shores of forget.

what then –

when shadows lose their cloak of obscure –

stand unencumbered in the light of is?

will the night have stolen our memories?

ravenous weasel of war?

oh, so sad –

realize.

much more appealing –

to drown in the tempestuous water of suppose.
