Foolishness

“FOOL” she splutters ... saying it violently to only herself.
“You want a connection, but there is none.
You want a refuge in the storm, but there is no refuge…
And honestly, the question is: Is the storm real.”

“Fool” contemptuously said only to herself…
“She chooses the escape of the television…
You want to be first choice, but ‘Fraiser’ always
beats friends.”

“fool” whispered only to herself in the light air of the night.
“You hope for more and cry when more never
comes. Yet you hope for more again. And once again.
And once again.”
