the final mark

[fledgist]

 here on the boundary of truth and lie
where ordinary magics have their rule

underneath heaven permanently cool

no one escapes nor is allowed to cry

against the judgment of the steely sky

since every human is at last a fool

while failure is the final mark at school

the arrow that will find each weeping eye

all that we know amounts to waste

It's powerful & bleak. And some days, it's how I feel.
