The olympics of love and discontent
we jump through hoops of disillusionment
to form oblique judgments
of affirmed victory and assumed hubris
Give weight to the intangible
while hopelessly stroking a sedated disposition
any sight of interference is quickly penalized
without an ounce of regret
And for what?
a gold-plated reproduction of self-worth
followed by quiet and solitary self-implosion
