Dealing With Things Left Unsaid

- Dealing With Things Left Unsaid-
by Keaton Foster


This
A promise
I’ll be remise
Mentioning it
Again and again
But here I am
Friends
Fiends
All dereliction
Unseen
Where are you
Why are you there
Never to be here
We are strangers
Impossible angers
Sharing in doubt
Wandering about
Looking for what’s lost
In a wilderness
Of everything found
We have no chance
Not one
Significance
Is our goal
Notoriety
Our soul
We want others
Those so unlike us
To understand
Because for us
Them understanding
Means more
Then our present nothing
Appealing to the God
Of meritocracy
One solemn line
After every other
Constantly
Dealing with things
Left unsaid
Take it all in
Yours now
No longer mine
Is what we would say
If we could
Speak directly
But I fear
That we
You and I
All of them
Cannot
Damaged are
The boundaries set
Closer we get
The further we seem
Nothing is fair
Even less is just
We are lost to ourselves
And everyone else
Dealing with things
Left unsaid
Our only viable connection
Our form and function
A purpose
How glorious the idea
There can be no other
Nor will there ever be
Regardless of what’s wished
Reality trumps everything
In this torturous Eden
That we find ourselves in…
