in the center of infinity

endless grassy fields,
bright green -
and in the center of infinity,
a stage

we claim up on top
from amidst the audience,
and exit stage right
into the shadow
of the shady oak

i encountered a homeless man today,
he was asking for just a few dollars
because he was hungry
but i turned him down,
lying that i had no money on me
(i bit my tongue)

on the way home, i got a bottle of liquor,
i went home and i

consumed it

and the plastic wrapper
from the little debbie's brownie
is just blowing in the wind

the first nine lines, and the title, make a satisfying, ethereal poem, full of potential. then, lying, drunkenness, product placement, and littering.

A very nice piece. We always feel guilty about something. Guilt drives the universe.

The selfishness of humanity. The planet as a stage in infinity.
The greed ad lack of caring. It seems it's all there.
Good one. It's our world today.
