miniature failure.

I have had
a miniature failure.
I suppose,
to an extent
if I were to compare my self
as I always do
to all those
scattered upon walls
and dormes
and textbooks
this would be
a stamp
of vitality.
I have had
a miniature failure
a miniature end
a declining
tumbling fall.
and I could feel
the particles of shame
collaborate
in a mascare of flames.
I am ordinary.
amongst the masses
nothing within me
glitters:
an intellectual.
yet
as all my
equally dull fellows
and I
sat down
morning
and sulking
our loss
I vowed
to never more
miniature-ly  end
and that made all the difference.
