The incendiaries of mundane living
All burst into life maniacally!
Cackling as I trudge slow,
Their incessant droning, stalking my every move

I weld my eyes shut
Clinging to composure for dear life
Afloat for the while
My hunger expands and contracts
Shackled to maddening fluctuation
Causing my  skin to throb, riddled with anticipation

The long drop “home”
I plummet scathing my paper flesh
Torn and marred
Filthy and mangy
I crumble ruined yet alive i remain

How can I relish existence?
Confined to this lowly abode
This haven I have bound to secrecy
With every trinket of my deceit

How, how do I attain my better half?
Unmoved by panic
Unfazed by anguish

Where can I flee from the mass inferno?
Steamrolling forward
And bent on my suffering
