It happens all the time

I've gotten used to it...

In the blind kingdom

I have one eye

and holler to the herd

a mass of blinking faces

muttering savages

who roll the dice

in absentia...

I try to remember

a wish made long ago

to resist the mockery

supplied by my foes

to be had for a bargain

cheap thrills in the funhouse

it happens...

I...No, never mind...

It doesn't matter
