Merely

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.

The best thieves merely take what is given.
