Weary Bleary Fog-Eyed Burn



at some point
we betray ourselves
at work

the way our eyes
glaze over
at meetings
or how the inner fire
shines through
when talk turns
to the outside world

pleased and relieved
to be the outliers,
the tired dogs
that can do the harder work
without pretending

cloaked
in solitude
to dream
of better things
