Dream Samurai (Free verse) by Lifeboatman
My honor rests on a dream Made of a plastic blue pipe And I sulk on a glory that never was In a shady corner of my home Spitting nicotine while I don My hero's cloth of ragged shirt I am not even king of this festered ignominy And as I hide from them my truth With courteous gestures of sanity And talks of school, future and stability I am slowly dying alive inside

Up the ladder: the invisible beauty
Down the ladder: battle

huh?

Hmm. Makes more sense when I notice the title--but I'm still lost with a plastic blue pipe.

Make it a glass pipe and we got something. Seven.
