A quarter past
The afternoon,
back on the chair
of bevelled legs
Baffled
with the hex
of number
Tested
by the brooding
threat, incumbent.
Never been too
good at tables,
Better that
I eat alone
Seen, faceless men
in grim apparel
waiting for
a chance
to come,
Convincing
with their
bare contempt.
And, I
the part
of all my sums,
cannot explain
where it went wrong.
Sat playing
with the cornerstones
of new denominations.

And, I
