[net.poems] No Matter

msl@bu-cs.UUCP (Melissa Leffler) (05/23/85)

No matter how hard you try to deny expectations,
they are insidiously there,
lurking in the realms of your subconscious
It's funny, almost...


Hatred, jealousy, envy, and fear...
all of these "darker" qualities are unavoidable,
no matter how altruistic one might seem.
Granted, they are hidden beneath seasons of facades,
but give the right circumstances, they will emerge one day;

			Humanity is inescapable.

When it comes, the Landscape listens -
Shadows - hold their breath - 
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance 
On the look of Death -
