[some perfect]

before you is the most truth you’ve ever known:
the plaid fading into the flannel it really is;
the coffee staining to the cup where it lives;
the eyes you see from pressing to read-
you struggle still for spotlight as you watch
the colors bleed.
this is what it means but i don’t think you’ll listen;
centerstage is no one there when you’ve prepared to glisten.
reality is paisley as it skillfully adheres to plaid~
