A life of ant bites
punctuated by magnetic catastrophe.
A beacon of misfortune.
A broadcast of misery.
An anthem of dry smiles and desert humor.
A life of knuckle shaped bruises
Immitated, duplicated, admired and despised-
Never quite right.
Never quite there.
Friends named enemy.
Love named hate.
Hate named self.
Beg to forget.
Pledge to endure.
