everything seems
so overwhelmingly
everythingish
all of the
goddamned time
without ever seeming
to take a fucking break
untiredly spinning
miseries around
waning solar impudance

a constant pummeling
punctuated by
a miserable silence
where only the
consistent tinnitus
is the lullabye
for a fool filled
with scars in the
shape of smiles all
along his cardial nerve

i can close my eyes
and feel her pulled
tight against my chest
forming a circuit
where this overabundance
of hyperbolic adoration
can flow like a surge
of voltage going to
the only home it ever
longed for in her
perfectly pulsing heart
