The perfect



The perfect is whatever you need it to be
            just long enough
            never too smooth
            always exactly as wrong as you need
            and with just the right amount of white


It doesn't judge, unless judgment is necessary

It doesn't take, except the pain away

You can't see it, unless you need to find it

It won't touch you, but you can always feel it


The perfect
                        knows
            but not secrets
                        can
            and does
                        is
            or isn't


Your flaws are the perfect's perfection

Your uncertainty is the perfect's stability

With the perfect, you are You

With the perfect, We are One

Just don't ever call me a poet


Downward

and as such falling

            so much implied


words I don't want to say

            MY NAME

                           4            1

numbers, letters, everything blurs

            shifting shapes, all shit-faced from

                        shooting sherry shots

                                    shoot


You don't get to come here anymore

            We no longer welcome your agony


                        Keep your pain

                                    to yourself
