I choose not to waddle in the mud

for other’s delight bathe in darkness when I shower

in the light

Nothing is more tragic than a view casted down whose silhouette marks perfection

but smile denotes clown

An unthinking being paraded as a star

are diamonds still diamonds when they have no

idea who they are

I want to be surrounded by splinters

of living air ride the backs of sages

who always point somewhere

refusing masks of lower frequencies

typecast in roles of other’s comedies

Parallel words stand in stark contrast

as master and slave drink from the same flask positions unchanged trends unobstructed

high mode of frequencies corrupted
