NOT AGAIN!

 

NOT AGAIN!

Beauty accustomed to praise is miffed again

While standing outside the rusted gates to fairyland you pretend

You remember all the rules from what you’ve read

Don’t knock on the door that they have labeled for you

in script of gold instead

Go through the plain door. Check.

But in the actual moment you arrive

The gleam of gold will catch your eye

And you’ll forget

Much to the story’s detriment.

And your eternal surprise.
