Flawless Hell

Ideals are as arbitrary
as fashion, and  
perfection sports the most un-affordable,
unattainable attire most desire

If it is the manikin in the window we idolize
then imperfection is the dummy in our heads

But I say save your money

Why pay more for accidental forgings
than you would for fine craftsmanship
when they are one in the same?

I pray that the last day
my eye bears witness to forgivness
splendor will be encrusted
in all the tattered beautiful garments we wear

and that flawless hell
will flee naked, back to the racks
of its own ugly world . . .
