Once upon a time
In a world where everything seemed possible
I cast a spell of enchantment
I believed my prestidigitation
Would inspire fascination
In the souls of those sorts of people
With whom I wished to spend my time
But it was only hocus pocus
My magic was out of focus
And I was but the punchline
Of a rotten cosmic joke
~Cie~
Damn those rotten cosmic jokes! I definitely identify with this, Cara.
ReplyDeleteSadly, it's often the best people who can identify.
DeleteI sometimes wish I were like Beavis and Butthead: utterly oblivious to rejection and pretty much everything else as well.
Wow. Yeah. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was effective! Thanks for visiting. :-)
Delete"hocus pocus out of focus" is a great line and contrasts with the poem, which is as incisive as a scalpel. dispelling indeed!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :-D
DeleteAs usual straight to the point!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I succeed! Other times I manage to beat around the bush far too much.
