sorry I can't stay longer

Here at the end
words become hollow
no matter how diligently
we track their meaning

what is to be said
that you don't already know
what is to be known
that has not been said

I was late arriving
and left too soon
to say goodbye
but still - I will miss you

I can see you so clearly
denouncing as bullshit
all these constructs
within which we're bound

and your guests, so many
hovering and leaning
waiting for wisdom
never think for themselves

I will offend for I don’t blend

well with lemmings on any day

I don’t follow the flow and so must go

beat my own path again
