Egocentric Distancing

By Clydes_Bonnie

Paper thin kingdoms
are best kept from open flame
quantum ways
existing in a vision
egocentric distancing
the curiosity of a mystery
of the misery

smiles sell to strangers
and charm tames the available
but the only thing that stops this carousel
is a shotgun

    A wonderfully short burst of vividly crazed writing.

    ooo, so nicely disturbing. Great work. Just don't go postal or suicidal, o.k.?
