Odd Disco Company


Odd Disco Company

Imagination is not a weapon against reality
Her hold on things is tenuous
And reality comes with strings attached
Immolation is no weapon against reality
Space is vast and cold
The sun appealing but she burns too hot
Indignation is no weapon against reality
I am a meek warrior
But I have taken a stand
If not here, then where?

I don’t hear a single
Just Poe’s
“Troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing,
In voices of surpassing beauty,
The wit and wisdom of their king”
