Counter Prosaic

fear teaches compliance
as you did once again

at the behest of the imaginary
yet very real

structural
while incomprehensible

emergent yet 
eminently describable

if you have the write penmanship
hum to the music that 
indulges doctrinal cannons

boom under the thunder cloud
laid up as a mirage mirror
where your self is not really there

your life hadn't happened
and the wood tense
sucked all the carbon out of your diamonds
