pain 2/9/12


Pain takes the deadpan stage
of the body.
The audience of self,
only pays attention.
Meaning, being the only patron
of means.
Pain proceeds in a slapstick way.
By topic,
there is little hope for applause.
Finally, during the course of life,
we are all
this broken down stage.
Meaning becomes a series
of folded dollar bills,
looking for cleavage
or g-string tucks.
Misery is lap dancing
next to misery.
These times themselves,
are our ourselves as faceless crowd
looking up.
Meaning, for now,
is the pain of salivation 
before any food for thought,
for the rest of us, dancing.
Pain then becomes our silent hero.
The hero of our first person destiny,
standing there, facing us,
speechless but fully present,
wondrous, yet never looking back
nor sharing anecdotes.
