now
you appeal to arbitration
because you execrate the moving of my skin
and in your greedy grudging gist
you make me take it on the chin

you're living mimicry, your passion's a quotation
you're the rotten apple and the rotten egg
your bus ride requires cessation

even derivates do respect time
so why can't you?
every truth begins as blasphemy
that's tried and true

call your mistakes experience, carping against your allies
now take this stopportunity
base it on surmise

now
the ace in the hole emerges as being payed back in spades

turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again...

i really like your style. This poem is well-written... and i can totally empathize with everything you say here.
