6157. KING LEVIATHAN

KING LEVIATHAN
Yes, just like Hobbes  -  face forward
and blunt : nasty, brutish, and short. The
funny girl in the reindeer sweater laughs 
back at a guy in the same. Like manners
somehow revolve around each other.
-
I maybe once thought there were differences
within this life. Now I know there are not.
Every man swaggles the gilt on the gold,
while each woman turns to effacement,
worn dwon like an old dime or penny.
-
We turn to each other  -  though not nearly
enough  -  when things become dark or
unclear. I want you to help me, I want
your love. I want you to keep me near.
