If I were to tell you
that my mind was made up
into ribbons of gold
and sold at cost to a bandit
with no prospects of redemption

would you allocate any
time to the endeavor
or would you just shrug
and walk away from the chaos
as if it were a discarded stuffed animal
lying in the street
waiting for some innocent child
to take pity on it
and lift it from the gutters

rehoming it in a bed shared with
an assortment of cherished monuments
to suburban illusion?

--Stephen Martin, 8/1/19
