Mercury

Superficial you are as you cry those tears.
The sadness replaced by indefinite fears.
Fickle indeed are the bricks beneath your feet.
As you sit in the corner, flashing your teeth.

Boring are the words that you spout at the moment.
Meaningful rarely but exquisite as your amusement.
Tics that you hide behind give you away.
Deception denied as the mask withers today.

Blubbering through the dead cold nights.
The twins cry out as the third one fights.
Agree, disagree, compromise, hate.
This will not work out, there is no fate.

Settle down, love, make a choice, make a wish.
One step at a time does a kilometer make.
Going around in circles, ellipses more often.
The distance varies but remains so certain.

Uniting the quarters that multiply often.
The harshness must endure, the edges may soften.
Flying with the wind as the end approaches.
There's more to life than gossip and beaches.
