cubicle kingdom

aheadbehind
allbore!bore!bore!
alas, the dark corner
is too bright
to conceal hopelessly carved
pupils
to rivale the king’s –
rimmed by crows feet
carved by
desperate dispair
disgraced
by
degenerated
ideas built
of
panic & dandilions.

    this was a really interesting read though i wonder at the deeper meaning of it... it had a depressed/dark feel but i couldn't say why exactly
