“We Close In Fifteen Minutes by Stewart Stafford

Found myself the only taker,
Of a minefield guided tour,
Through no man's land life,
Every exit is now invisible.

Stardom magnified my flaws,
A broken man lost in a maze,
A deadly structure's hostage,
A hermit in denial's labyrinth.

Glimpse dwindling fragments,
In the looking glass of hubris,
Flounder in glossy quicksand,
The solutions devoured whole.
