scrutiny

by delapruch

when placed under the
microscope
all the flaws will show &
no matter how far one runs from the
past,
it will tap you on the shoulder---
what makes the light shine bright
is the audacious curiosity
of another
whose own image has either
never been under the microscope
or they think for some reason that
they are
immune to
scrutiny---
maybe, quite possibly,
the one who grabs another
to drag them under the light,
is one whose personal vendetta against the
world
is so strong, that they think
slowly but surely,
the process of implicating every other
human
who has ever walked the earth in the
greater story of their own
misfortune,
would make it all seem
easier, or at least
reasonable---
in this world without reason
in this world without meaning,
such individuals will dance with
exploded heads,
like daisies being popped off by little
children singing the folk tune,
for frustration will come when
the light gets shed back on them
for being the kind of person
who will not stay the fuck out
of another’s business.
