MISFIT
After “Outback” by Paul Whitener
Misfit – – Outback – – Outhouse
Enclosed in Grayed Ramshackle Beauty
Nearly Disconnected; but- Still Connected
Connected Still to the Words Inside Silences.
Misfit- – Outback – – Outhouse
Paused Amongst All Symbols
Sacred; Esteemed; Mystical
Intrinsic in All Universal Laws.
Misfit – – Outback – – Outhouse
Enclosed in Grayed Ramshackle Thoughts
The Imaginings Who Gave It Immortality
When Nothing Remains, but, Dirt’s Dust.
