The Fruitfulness of Hopelessness

Pain demands change.
Suffering applies for control.
When the sentence runs short

life becomes a lame analogy
smoothing out the similar
to make metaphors more like

similes. Combinations conform
to the rules of confusion, bringing
daylight streetlamps to light

the redundant sidewalks of
the suburb of less than neon
flight. The airport watches too

carefully and the checklists
manifest destinations whose
identities are non-solid.

Despair swings closer to
the reality: control fantasies
are failures of creative undecision.
