we pretend--

we pretend
to be o m n i s c i e n t
when our knowledge
is limited to
histrionics.

we flaunt--

we flaunt nothing
because we're so
blinded
by our delusions
of perfection.

we hate--

we hate anything
and everything
that doesn't
fit the description
of o r d i n a r y.

because in the end,
aren't we all
c o n s e r v a t i v e s ?

aren't we all
naïve little
beings who
despise
c h a n g e ?

as much as we'd
hate to admit it,
we're all just

empty vessels with
superficial wisdom.
