Behind the Glory
by Thrasymachus,Aug/07/2021
Emotionally charged:
brutally honest even when I'm lying:
a Skinny Puppy in a .45 Grave:
yeah, I go back a long ways:
Puck sometimes bore witness:
we asked him over six years ago:
bury white in kingdoms of pillow clouds:
sounds of the Victorian era:
the 45 hour University degree:
service, relish, medium rare please:
reborn under a veil of hypocrisy:
traumatized while in the oviduct:
the wrens come in April:
seven floors up and only one way down:
cranked up another joyous cover:
served in marble coffee cups:
lip service and representation by the committee:
read them all to find what you are looking for:
if you're leaving town take me with you:
finding it down avenues of waving Poplar:
wide roads and apricot poodles:
they don't know my shoe size:
imposters and grateful saxophone players:
a distinguished young man:
people you'll never see again:
it could have been warmer:
hills, Cossacks, rivers:
returning from the borders of Mongolia:
clouds seen in childhood:
memories waiting for the bell to ring:
crumbs on the preadolescent peach fluff:
lasting midnight blue glitter:
not at all subtle and seductive:
Leda and the swan:
black cats and sleek profiles:
this is it:
beyond that proposal, out the window:
narrow footpaths, gongs and temples:
another string of office deaths:
corporate takeovers:
dual memory zoners:
ambitious debut sinks from view:
it was great, now roll me off you:
sand really does sparkle like stardust:
if you say so:
thoughtful and intelligent:
I can't guarantee that:
even if we are to blame:
spy swimming pools cracked by earthquakes:
unique adjustable patented swing arm:
wager:
its so small you can take it anywhere:
some assembly required:
that's who I am:
she is gone now:
methinks we had cactus pie:
don't blame the act over the intent:
a bigger budget and meadows all the way to the seashore:
walking there in an Irish-style rain:
from the last place visited:
telescoping height adjustment included:
no drilling is allowed here:
self immolation:
I soon forgot everything except the moment of regret:
time stands the smell:
this electric tree trimmer is great:
before, behind, after and always:
you can't fake scars like these:
swivel trigger guns with the squeeze action motion:
my fantasy island:
the dwarf and the seagull are key:
I have read and understand the rules:
its funny you asked that:
aqua bats in the jungle:
amazing these mountains never melt:
game face the best it gets:
loaded with implications and front page news:
come clean on the encore:
the sage is fixed like death:
a mystery to man:
it runs on nano circuits:
a clearly superior way to clean your ears:
it was never heavily policed:
pocket lint fell in the sausage meat:
sleeping in a cardigan in a wall papered room:
mesmerized by the empty blue horizon:
there was no starting point really:
no such comparisons were ever intended or made:
that's just the way it goes:
glory behind the shadows:
behind the past:
behind the cares:
behind the worries:
behind the sound of the tears hitting the lonely river:
behind the rain, the sirens, the storm, the dogs, the wolves, the city:
glory behind the now:
behind the behind for real.
