can’t shake it

all the time

herded to the inevitable cliff through complex machinations

destined to plummet

endlessly

metaphorically

metaphysically

metabolically

a hyper state of metastasis

methodically driven down the branching paths

crooked streams

subtle innuendo

miniturized and magnified

an extended departure to mythocracy

mantled, manhandled, management, manic, maniac, mana

misdiagnosed malignancy

emancipate

emissaries effegies epitaphs epithelial essence

egregious

err

arrogant archetype arsenal aromatic automatic

access

inaccessibility to dialogue

dialect

diuretics

divinity

dignity

the need to find the perfect word

phrase

scene

encapsulate the feeling of dread

hopelessness

to find the one succinct line that will explain it all

not today

sit back and sweat the details

observe

obstruct

tomorrow will the attack

today let the tide sweep the cloud from the water until all is clear

fill out the forms for eventually supremacy over linguistic constructs

let the pain wash over your weary soul

as words fall towards the tip of tongue

a butterfly net and three dollars in change

capture yon fated expulsion

enjoy the fall

plummet

dive

drop

watch your step

the hand railing is broken

railing against the world as i see it from the fun house mirror lens of glasses i don’t need but can’t take off

the glasses enfolded into the scar tissue around my eyes, no separation between lenses, all cataract dystopia
