a forlorn coda

 


a forlorn coda

-or-

always incomplete


to see it all slip away

by being a caring animal;

albeit a flawed, so flawed that

the government was interested in

using me as an example of something

worse than they are, a being that barely

registers it exists.  Or maybe a fractured

sometimes blank, always meandering self-

referential-aggrandizing pity party of words

can help a brother out of this hole to add that

'W' that represents my ancestry and that question-

able idea of me
