The Peace of Failure's Solitude

insomniac

To the sullen groove of an old mans song
I tell my cruel tales
I dip my head
And tip my hat
To the undefeated males
My young skin old
Strong muscles weak
My bones so cold
In Captors Creek
I/'/m calm now -
Though I won/'/t peak
Through words alone
Do I now speak
This suit is my armour
This cane - my love
Such hate from below
Such neglect from above
No resolution
Nothing stays - Nothing goes
God knows, I miss Nothing
When Something shows

Woah, the second half of this surprised me. This feels like it could have numbers of entendres with particular ideas, like the cane and suit being well-dressed in the jazz/swing era, and the shows could be anything from lounge shows, to cabaret, or even to operas and concertos or symphonies. It/'/s impressive in the ways to picture it, and then it with that much can cause for the poem/'/s own inspired insomnia. ;)
