He liked to think he knew,
that what he could construe
mattered to someone. But as his gaze gathered the cascade
of commentary, insight and knowledge
beyond his baggage, he lay subdued. Envy and self-contempt stewed gently.

to improve... To push back the darkness. And, for a while at least, he seemed at peace.

He constantly compared his worth to that of another’s So he hushed himself, hid himself.
His thoughts, torn hues from the silent shelf,
left to idle beside the light.
