MY FINAL HOUR, MY PERSONAL SAVIOUR


complex social relationships
robustly on display
recast your vision of
the right kind of mind

aching for someone
to stand beside
with a lil' bit of backbone
with a tendency for integrity

twin specter,
bright running, parallel lines
distorted, perhaps
but how would we know?

what can you offer up
as illumination
armed, precise definitions
his urgings


{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}


vulgar and reductive...determinist
shallow and selfish...unattractive

i want a man, not a liar
i want a man, not an apology

written and displayed in public 
all about perspective
understand the cause to curb 
future incidents


{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}


you're weak,
it's all too obvious
when you're standing 
next to me

don't include me in your lonely-picture
victim-based, self-fulfilling prophecy


{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}


in my final hour, my own personal saviour
