Discordia

By Donnie Lomat

i.
stick to the sidelines
for a change,
and wait
for the lines to converge.
a slow descent to nothingness.

ii.
chain-smoking all the
hurt, and
out of reason.
indifference rules us all.
with thy pulse turned to
pulp, and
blue all over.
you remain heedless
and never.

iii.
in effect, an
unwanted dichotomy.
