a tertiary blemish
ignored unless
necessary
then immediately
tossed back to the side

an insipid growth
with spindly hairs
best left in the dark

ancillary to the
main plot
easily overshadowed
by any other distraction
any other possible
distraction

textbook definition
of unimportance
not by design
but by the apathy
of those who always
come first

but acceptance
of time tested facts
is still
a bitter pill
to be forcefed
