The Sulk

And I suppose
What it comes
Down to
Is ordinary patience

With irrationality 
And impossibility
There is no fight
To be had
There is no 
Point
In impatience
For the argument is not 
Between two
But between 
One
And to heavily 
Coil the spring
Against impossibility
Is a waste
Of everyone's time
Especially your 
Own
So roll a cigarette 
Open a beer
Read a good book
Let the fireworks
Explode
In silence 
If they have to
Put your feet up
Enjoy the show
And those who 
Aren't
Truly mad
Or even less mad
Will see the sunrise
Eventually
Regardless 
Of
Anything 
Anyone else
Does 
Or doesn't
Do

Ha, I like that hint of snarkiness in your poems. You pull it off nicely ;)

Interesting. I liked it. The structure works. Blowed if I know why.
