Kit Kelen #931 - chosen

931

chosen

for special irony duties

so I am the tribe of this trope

tried out for innocent bystander

but they wouldn't have me

look into a pool

there's no reflection

I was always there

just where I am one

I am many

just where there's the sun

I shine

can't get enough of the stuff

imperishable

but not to be worshipped

a little water's nice

I was a kind of vine once

it's not every day you're chosen –

but victim either way

it's like that word 'solution'

how many states?

how bored the guards

who turn on the gas

and God yawns too

considers his choice

but it's irony wins every time

by Job!

that Moses took his tablets –

look where it's got us

you have me there

but here I am

it takes no thought, this fascination

I always slip away

you can still hear me, right?

I was the one chosen to show

the symbol of annihilation –

my flag of destiny, my hope
