The Melancholy Meme of "Me! Me! Me!"
"The hopeless romantic endlessly experiences a deep, heartfelt sympathy
for his own pain."
-- the mainstay of melancholy
*
Its glimpse entails the same old lardy lies,
the same old oily verse full scrawled by rote,
the same old soppy heart of sloppy sighs,
the same old plainsong on the same blah note --
Then Melancholy scurries from the pane
to greedier yet grow beyond the rain.
*
a dedication of Respect
for
the occasional Pain of countless feeling beings yet presently
dropping dead like flies --
yet presently dropping dead to boot
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
Romanticism's mania for melancholy
august, 2023 -- 'tis now the very sad-boi time of night,
with sad-girl hours cried by candlelight
for his own pain."
