Victim of Experience

An incredibly tasty happening
full of comfortable things
plush like a teddy bear
entrapping and ensnaring

Bright lights and cheers
hazy like a dream
moving through events, one to the next
feverish and frantic

Closing the eyes
blocking out the day
speeding from one snare to another
yet still we watch

Sink down with us
as the dripping day goes forth
a kingdom for a story
yet the stories come from factors beyond controls

Oh yonder outliers
who sit on high
oft' adored neath the crowded waves
victims of circumstance

Such a sad tale
as experience guides
to understand the truth
and be drowned by it

Hope lies in the untold
the unknown and the unseen
but we should venture forth now
or venture forth never again
