Fluorescent daybreak
Scalds,my cowering
Agony-stricken form

I rot from within
From a night well-spent
Parting the reeds
Of joyous
Concrete bedlam

My innards seethe
With proud infernal hatred
Screaming
Their highest disdain

As my earlobes toll
With a church bell’s remorse
And my eyes
Reap a world
Of treachery
And swaying hues

I rot from within
And rightfully so
Spent beyond all belief
Still tottering
With feign regret

For I’ll recover
Ever-true to my delusions
To a madman’s stagger
Bleary, block by block
