There is no such thing as bad weather
merely inappropriate clothing
the rock thrown at my head
merely a lesson in physics
the gash along my empathy
merely an act of faith
the dance at the bite of the hook
merely the balance won
the line that is crossed through
merely the relic of the day
the wisdom of the left hand
merely the ignorance of the right
the authority of the rich man
merely the repast of the next
the edicts laid down to children
merely pleas padding down the hall
the singing of the joyful
merely anguish to the damned.
