Static in the Attic
There is nothing but static
in the attic
as Mr. Dramatic stares at the sofa
that could be a bed –
but never becomes one.
Mr. Dramatic catches glimpses
in the reflecting mirror,
as the vision appears in the
lost dream of the lover
who once held a friend.
Mr. Dramatic remains the victor
of the game never played,
and the leader, reflectively,
of a plan not made, foundations not laid,
a great debt not paid…
…to oneself amid the static
in the attic,
as Mr. Dramatic stares from the sofa
that could be a bed –
but never becomes one.
