My Hidey Hole
By snakeskingrin
Pretending to know how to act
Glassy red eyes, jaw slack
Speaking in bare banalities
Consciousness a mere formality
Cloak of understanding worn too tight
Jovial idiot blundering through the night
Instinctively smiling at nothing
Bloodshot lizard sunning
Places where I shouldn't be
A darker hole appeals to me
Self-made props, built on other's faults
Garner some very misleading results
Alpha male in a puddle of filth
Alchemy turns a sow's ear silk
Friend forever, to one who pays
Leave your broken sword where it lays
Coins and friends and self are lost
Pride remains, but at what cost?
Tear-stained marking on a map
Leads to a damning epitaph
