FUTILE FANTASY

ByRoger Wallock copyright 2007

 

Loners should be                                                          alone.

Solitary figures                                                              lurking in abandoned abodes
keeping to                                                        themselves
not infecting others with their
negative stench.

Oh, they occasionally climb out of
their crab shells and flit among the social.
A fool’s dream to swagger and strut
in and out of crowds.
Clinging to a
futile fantasy of friends and family.
Sadly aware of their destiny to slink
back into a dusty, dim cavern
and allow others to live happier
in their absence.
