Grain of Salt
by Travis G Finborgto accept a thing less then completely
I take with skepticism abound
absorbed and flushed out
it helps me swallow
these grains of salt
preserve my sanctity
an ancient way to prevent
decay and growth
price to pay
someday i will be left
as nothing but a pillar of salt
all of me absorbed by my skepticism
too many grains of salt
