31/08 :  The Air is Thin on Top

   Thin is the air on the top
of the paper cup pyramid
that forms the toppling
pedestal of hopes and dreams

Fantasies once honored
are discarded as the
microscope pushes closer
Analyzing, examining
forcing unique views
of ancient situations

Love, if ever it existed
is blown away with a
gust of truth or
as the slithering slide
of cigarette smoke
whisked away on
the winds of shame
guilt, what-if's, and horror

Staring upwards to the fallen
seems futile and as imperfect
as they have left others
to believe that they are.

The air is thin on top
and in the dusty depths
of lost children
