Under > Over
It's better, to be, the undertrained, underdog.
Than jumping; over, jinxed hurdles,
through, fiery hoops, and, rings.
Or, unfounded, in a metallic maze,
of untruths, and, lost,
like, a lonely, bereft, missing link.
It's better, to be, underrated,
than, in-over-your-head.
Under, the ever-watchful eye,
of, the overseers;
it's better, to be, an underling.
It's better to smell, with your eyes,
those fragrant, delectable stars,
looking up, from under,
that, kitchen table, of, a midnight sky.
Than, to have to clamber, over,
your toileting ego, and, get over yourself,
when, pretending, that your shit,
doesn't stink.
It's better, to be, under, than, over.
Just shy of...
