fingerprints and snowflakes

Fingerprints

and snowflakes

Tiny indents 

and big ten 

corporate 

conglomerates 

...Sometimes we just

feel like we are playing

grownup, make believe

With this lack of stuff,

with this lack of love, 

Carrying around a wallet

empty 

And calling 

our own bluffs

continually.

Minutes of seconded emotions

second glanced at with

double takes,

Deciphering the difference

between a guess and an inference,

Deciphering the difference

between authenticity and the fakes

Can be more difficult to make

than anything these ovens

conventional boast at being

able to bake 

Consequentially we grip-cling

to the memory, to the reality

of fingerprints and snowflakes

Falling and landing in a far away

galaxy 

Like a dream 

...Failure doesn't mean falling,

it only means refusing 

To rise and ascend, again

Failing is denying

the elements an attempt to

try, try, try another time
