I stand in amazement as I watch you
Metamorphize,
Using the analogy of feeling like
A blanket, a mere comfort
You besmirch what is left of us.
I consider offering a compromise,
Even selling you a marketable
Version of us,
But by your
Deafening discontent
I know every word is meant,
And more:
You are drugged by your
Supposedly impartial truth.
I am not invulnerable, you stand
Bloodstained, accused of
Premeditated crime,
But as a moonbeam catches your eye
I become witness to your barefaced Radiance and so I fetch some
Luggage
And participate in the assasination
Of
Us.

Click here for a link to some words coined by Shakespeare, who was baptized on this date in 1564. If the link doesn’t work, here are a few: advertising, bloodstained, critic, dwindle, eyeball, hobnob, luggage, radiance, and zany. He invented more than 1,700!
