259. Shhh! (Myshkin, 2023) · quatrains

Beautiful nothing, I am here to stay! To seem surprised when all that seems to follow Releases verse, and magic is at play, And stillness is in vogue at the Apollo. The crushing logical can take a hike! So sorrow-squeezed, I wouldn’t talk to daisies Reality: what’s not to never like? The wisest men will listen to the crazies. And I have known the habit of dejection, Well-worn and torn, the seams have come undone, But this November, standing for election, Is never-solitary-always-One.
