VACANCY FOR GENIUS

The universe may be an experiment insorrow

Avacancyfor genius has arisen
in nearby well-to-do hypermarkets
They said to abandon allHope:

Vision,

        Pain,

                  Fear,

                     Passion.

I'll abandon myself alright!

Growth twists inhollowstares
that follow,

                    slowly
                    and
                    surely,

like cats eyes on a conveyor belt
jabbed with acknowledging tones
Punctuated eyes arenotred-rimmed
but scarlet, glassy and irritated beyond repair

I
stare

Neck: cracked and fixed
A fused pivot; declaring surrender
No trace of previous wars
A white scarf apparent at it's throat

Distant glaresavoidnervous glances
Tuning out anagoraphobicdin of sin
The sin of society's salacious need;
to serve
with a sarcastic smile;
Solacious?
To accept;
graciously, (in kind)

Genius is right;spot on
