after rebuttal

when I see you

nowadays

I am

not

me

anymore,

rather

some

glib simulacrum

of my former

glory.

a pastiche

of motley

pass-me-ons

&

hand-me-downs.

it was the coldness of your dismissal

that sliver ed my hopes,

sli ced me up,

shard

boy,

shard

man,

a whispering idiot

FULL of hot air

signifying

nothing.

the has-been

who played on

well past

retirement,

just

another

bit-player

reduced to drivel

in his own B grade

movie,

sp  lin   te   re   d,

self-pitying

like   this

across                   the                   pages

here

and

there…

ad nauseum.
