HysteriaA Poem by Butch DecatoriaHysteria The oddity of faces, memory game lacking sentiment Expressions monotone now a stoic or indifferent air The machine once a living beam only emotes routine Practical pensiveness sure not to offend interpretation With those cordial well wishes and receipt of good ones taken Having shaped itself these eyes and faces assumed alive. Mechanical robotic plastic contrived as though unreal In the daylight evidence with what is witnessed, A performance of pieces that maligns into an alien Vulcan gang sign to replace a good word or morning The oddity of the world suddenly a facsimile of itself. The strange sing song of sheep like white noise of concrete Against a choir of heavens, or musical whistle of swallows Distinct and miles away from each other’s relatable roar The movement of most things now a march staccato Lacking individual character or unique pace, all accents Which enlivened colors and dance has become heavy In some queer infection or mind trapped in trance maligned, A passing of moments posed and façade in black and white wash A dulling a diminishing a disease that stricken reality A deformity of what keeps real our humanity’s grace lost And what hides away from everyday, in the moist shadows From the verve of truths corrupted by industry Fear its forceful spear, also its robe of conqueror weir, its weakness So fat with deceit to think itself universe and sky Peculiar how shadows walking dead believe they are alive Mishap reasons more like excuses to act the beast Consuming ravaging digesting what glow remains of divine The hunger and desperate howl to keep itself godly When the new page turns from a book of absolute and sage The wilderness of our nature evolving to more than hysteria Wisdom is shedding skins that once snaked on bellies of glass We become more than the fearful and shadows from the past. © 2011 Butch Decatoria |
