The thread is forever lost
In a scalding
Downpour of verse

Beyond remorse
Words thrash
With thunderous glee

Flooding my skull
In a stream
Of lofty notions

All for the limp
And sputtering fool
Who writhes in agony’s
Sudden bloom

A numeric captive
Pools
With tragic haste

Bound
For the gutters
Ever- fuming
With rancid sorrow
