I am

The Forgotten Man.

       Unremembered

By my own self even,

        GHOST IN THE SHELL

A haunter

        Of my own body,

Spiteful poltergeist

Resentful saboteur, of whatever hope

Still remains.

Graves says, a man lost is lost forever.

        So what is left?

Nothing but a haunting.

Define Success-

Young men rev the engines of expensive sports cars, sunshine.

Tanned left arm draped carelessly out of window, the wrist is adorned

With a thick, gold watch.

The relationships between the rich young men and the young women they associate with is characterised by mutual opportunism and private scorn.

Define Failure-

The total inability to affect events.

The Poet, catatonic in a damp room, in maze of magical thinking,

Confusing coincidence for cause.

                                                    FACEBOOK FRIENDS- 37.

      I’ve revised my demands, downsized my ambitions,

GIVE ME REFUGE.

Hawk, with wings clipped, how they mock and point.

            I flew once

Had home in heaven.

                                                       WHO AM I?

The hobbled hyperborean,

GHOST IN THE SHELL
