The star-turned-fanboy,
built on ambition and misdirection,
claimed no contest
in the interest of self-interest.
He's not believing in the here-and-now
the way we're supposed to...
the meaning of mindfulness
we were taught from the ground up.
We're four seasons and he's
still on vacation from the first.
Justice doesn't serve the worst.
He's got the half-seemed
assumptions, and they keep
gathering like budding truths
in need of a good comeuppance
but he's not fit to be disturbed.
He's not here and he means it.
And honestly, all we can do
is contemplate or complicate
and we know that'll do us
no good. Not now. But
what we can do is look back
and take a page out of
his book in passive-aggressive
arrogance...if we're
gonna be wrong we're gonna
be spectacularly wrong
but at least we know enough
to be grateful in demise.
For what it's worth, we'll
say we tried.
