A Fearlessly Original Eye

" A Fearlessly Original Eye "

A fearlessly original eye
unprepared
for the honeyed
hostility
and acidic pleasantries
of an old sweetheart
like a brand-new motto
long since forgotten
loudly and clearly
in a steady stream
of placid freedom
beautifully acted
and carefully adapted
to changing realities
as a subconscious scream
From pitiable to downright admirable
bidding farewell to tiny white lies
as unlikely reminders
for the population at large
Amid the big
willingness to live
within a strict
grid system
as hardly limited
like granitic
culprits
of the familiar
linked
between misery
and authenticity
when pushed
through a straw
as long
as a square-jawed
courtship
of soothing wooing
with dewiness
and ridicule
as amusement
Posturing
with an attitude
of sourness
with an edge
of hysteria
and a steely
sense of self
as cherishable
when animated
with wise-
cracking veracity
as completely
pipsqueaky...
