7000 Sparks from Quality Mirrors by Restless Mosaic

I captured 7000 sparks
Making light for all my dark
Wit spit, emitting showers
Of incandescent power
With an adolescent glower

In my blue-sky redemption arc
You’d crown me as the king of snark
War-torn, adoring throngs
Would drown out all your wrongs –
A downspout, then they’re gone

But in the crackling of my rage,
I failed to realize
That memories of younger days
Are nature’s best disguise

So when I showed up for a fight,
It took me by surprise
To learn that time had left you pale and
Immunocompromised

When I was young, you seemed so strong and tough
I thought that I could never measure up
Years on, demystified by disconnect,
My anger was a high-voltage respect

In finding you like this, I should have known
The gap between us wasn’t set in stone
So I will ground my electricity
To not burn down your hospice reverie
