The Mollified Man

The Mollified Man

written by: Hayden McCain

 

The meekly
mollified man
subtly sews
his silently
simplistic sights
upon reality’s
rickety rufescent light.
Always left
lifelessly looming
beneath the brain’s
bashfully blurred
background
of benevolence.
Frankly flickering out
the faded flaws
whose firm
factual flames
of effectiveness
have by now
grimly grown
themselves
out of the
limp lashes
of limelight.
Solemnly swearing
their silent
silken seas
of sorrow
into the
sulking sands
of insignificance.
