Rare And Red
This was a second place winner.
two 1st place Daily Poem winners for start of September:
"Rooftop Psycho" "Daily Poem 1"
Are you rare?
visibly, purely red,
breached by no other color,
a diamond of such purity, cut
into shape of definitive existence?
They twist the story of your rarity.
We know of your deliverance,
unearthed by miners, just as
common as any other gem,
owned by one company
that sets the price on
beauty, properly
marketed.
You could be alone.
Like no other,
placed upon a porcelain
hand given by an ignorant other,
who mines for gems to trade, relies
on a purveyor of gemology. The keeper
of the rarest beauty stands behind a
glass counter with a lens for these
things, mounts dreams on one
proper setting -- the lie of
true value which credit
cards must exist
and depend. Swipe!
Now go get hitched, fool,
so you can stop being alone.
It might as well be an artificial construct.
