fragile

There was a hole

In the page 
Which
Unsurprisingly
I fell through
Paper thin cracks
And shards
Of dripped
Dipped 
And wasted ink
Flooded my pores
Painted 
And pained 
My flesh
As the lost ideas
Of women
And men
Wept their way
Down my spine 
And the world 
From below
The whole of the
Paper
Was a papier-mâché 
Mask
Of malcontent 
And mistrust 
As all
The lines of dishonesty
Burnt above
Unthreatening 
To the paper 
For the flames
We're scribbled
In crayon
By heartless 
Lost souls
And the confetti
That is life
Rained down
It's dandruff ideas
Sprinkling 
Everything that was
Ever done
With a sense 
Of fervent helplessness 
Lost in the muddle
Of littered
Penmanship
And rotten fruits
Grown 
But forgotten
Along with
The sheep
And their predictable
Meaningless
Slaughter
