ROPES

Ah,
what do we
have here

more and more
look at me postings

every moment
in the spectacle of life

you could put
them all together
you would have an album
you would have
a history

something definitive
but,
     call me
old goat
    call me spoilsport
                   misanthrope

but as darkness
gathers and
they do tighten the
ropes

I fear what I saw
as no change
is every
kind of change

same smiling look at me
posture
look at my face

thought there
no change

but seems
the frame, it
has darkened
and they have tightened the ropes
