The investment
one drop,
in an ocean of drops,
one cardboard cut-out,
in a sea of props,
one stop,
in a mall of shops,
the least,
the beast,
the mundanity that's so underwhelming,
and who will notice me
would you look on me?
one ant,
on a hill of ants
one lonely kid
in his gym pants
and vest a vested interest
in the uninteresting
but here comes the investing
you believed in me
when frankly you were out of your omniscient mind
you invested in me,
when bluntly, I don't mean to be unkind
but there were better candidates
people who would validate
such attention
did I mention
that your undeserved favour,
was a flavour I couldn't savour
like a drink offering
I am merely proffering
the notion
like the ocean,
of drops
the favour never stops
and though you spend a billion
for one in return,
like a crazy fool god
you never seem to learn
I'm afraid to say
that slowly,
I'm coming to see it your way
and I'm just starting to receive
the thing I must believe
that you love me.
