CHAGRINED

who am I to spout my ignorance?


I know at least as much

as you do and probably less


but I spurned my path

and find no way back to it


I'm ashamed at so much waste

but hell what does it matter over drinks


and a comforting gaze afterward

up to the inexorable tread of stars


on a sky that resembles

our field of earthly endeavor


a slow steady orderly march

with its own chaos to power


the engines of our desolation...
