  6. RICHARD CORY REVISITED

    How we folks on the pavement can be fooled!
    Awestruck, we take in the aura of a man
    in receipt of seemingly everything cool:
    richer than a king, handsome, slim, tanned.

    In our meager lives we don’t begrudge him,
    Though our envy tends to grow like fire,
    Spilling into realms where hope is dim.
    We’re not pleased to see our dreams, our deep desires

    ascend in smoke. Nor do we see his background,
    that which our eyes are never privy to.
    We see his majestic steps when he walks the town
    But the pain he hides? We haven’t got a clue.

    We tend to live our lives in parallel:
    What others see need not be what’s real.
    Life’s a game of Conceal or Show and Tell.
    A man who has it all may heartaches feel.

    Why else would Cory muster all his nerve
    to end his regal life? What good could it have served?

    • Life’s a game of Conceal or Show and Tell.
      A man who has it all may heartaches feel.

      Such a heart-rending question posed there at the end. Powerful story-telling. We never really know what goes on in other people’s hearts not even in their lives and yet we often judge them

      • That is so true! For that reason we should never judge the inner workings of another’s heart or assume he or she is strong enough or faith-fortified enough to overcome the loss of hope.

  7. […] In the corridor’s background the parallel moving walkways spill out their passengers at an even pace.  Having the obvious tendency of never stopping, the even flow insights a desire to step on, as I have, so many times in my life.  A constant smooth ride with no help except the never ending conveyor belt underneath my feet–no effort is made on my part, I just watch from here as the nerve of the world hurries by.  They must have goal oriented destinations in mind.   They may be living a Mar de coucou life, never revealing themselves completely to anyone, not divulging their inner wishes or strong feelings about even the most remote subject.  Please don’t be surprised by their outwardly mundane appearances.  If they spoke Golem’s Truth and you believed them, you might even be disappointed. You may live life as I do, in the constant concept of ordinariness, never being seen as extreme, or with extraordinary feelings of a vibrant life.  You may even be awestruck by the seemingly simple, uneventful life I lead.  How is it possible to lead this “grey” life?  In the end, it is all smoke and mirrors. https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2017/06/05/wordle-158/ […]
