The One To Embrace (+1)

The One To Embrace

  

The Artist

who scares you

the one you should

mime

 

And step

in his shoes

to see

what you’ll find

 

The Artist

who threatens

your soul’s

status quo

 

The one to

embrace

as you try

— to ‘pass go’

When The Dust Settles

 

To be remembered

— period end

 

(The New Room: January, 2026) 

 

 

 

Strutting & Naked

 

You want their

affection

but your words

to disdain

 

I voted for you

thrice

and would do so

again

 

But the many

unsold

who vote

with their heart

 

Abandon you now

as your

ego

cavorts

 

Assuming

your schtick

is attractive

to all

 

You strut like

the ‘Emperor’

and naked

befall

 

Overlooking

the obvious

what the simplest

man knows

 

To be liked

is a mandate

and lost

— in your show
