Accept/Abort

Believing in better with our
finger nails dug in mortar suggesting
frenzied grasp for the good life,
waning stride to a crawl.
Play it back in slow motion frame by frame.
Piece together a broken history.
Instigating a new round of
asking questions, denying simple truth.

He has potential but he must try harder.

Grinding by with the pace,
caustically edging the way.
Colliding into the darkness,
though there was nothing there.
Believing in better.
This clearly is too much to ask.

Still hanging uncertainly inbetween
acsension and the bottom of the well.
Air is thinning, the warmth escapes steadily.
Water ripples invitingly.
Clashing tidal waves breaking over me,
Cleansing all but a sense of direction.
Intigating a new idea,
answered questions? No this is surely dreaming?

He has potential but he must try harder.

Grinding by with the pace,
caustically edging the way.
Colliding into the darkness,
though there was nothing there.
Believing in better.
This clearly is too much to ask.

Believing in better with our
finger nails dug in mortar.
Believing in better with our
finger nails dug in mortar.

He has potential but he must try harder.

Grinding by with the pace,
caustically edging the way.
Colliding into the darkness,
though there was nothing there.
Believing in better.
This clearly is too much to ask.
