square up city

life bequests top-tier tests
often dreadfully orbital
wilder instincts are the best
emerging from the terminal

coax light up from the wells
to outshine bold distractions
not wise to fight the swells
simply slide under the factions

instruments of thy peace
can quickly be engulfed
the flames of pain won't ever cease
feeding from that trough

even though a few years older
interfearence comes alive
i hadn't seen him on my shoulder
restless eyes can't open wide

yet i sensed a pointed glare
and though it's quite absurd
a leprechaun was standing there
looking all perturbed

you are not alone
keenly needing change
when freed from too much doubt
the path becomes less strange

if you confront the worst
rejecting all self pity
you'll butter breakfast toast
down here in Square Up City
