Oh Dear

Note: To be read with increasing speed and rhythm


Oh Dear…

Pretending probably won’t work anymore…
The Pale
The Proven
The palindromic
subtleties of reality seducing reason
and the reasons reality gives;
nostalgic’s too narcotic for a person
who’s lethargic to the point
where words are rotting and there’s seven reasons not to -
maybe twenty
maybe seventy, my hyperbolic tendencies
have certain strange dependencies
on many small discrepancies
like fool and fast
fallacious fodder
fuming from my mind.
To start another sentence is both dangerous and kind.
So I’ll stop.
