Underwhelming Syntax


Underwhelming syntax
     of my narrow expressions
Hollow-hearted words
     from liminoid spaces

Border lands make for brave faces
     or indecisive ones.
Broken hand gone jellyfish
     waiting for depth, but,
                 lacking a solid floor.

Pretty ok means sub par
      and pretty good means
              awesome or simply ok.

Impoverished expression
      made for stoic abstractions
that seem to portray
      sober self-control

but to those who are heart-close
      it looks like self-doubt

             and lack of commitment.
