Disorientation

It’s the sugar on your tongue.

 

It’s the ignorance at your side that encourages

 

The cane to slither off that flavorful muscle.

 

I don’t remember how it tastes. I obtain no desire to.

What happened old chap?

 

You used to own the world with that sickle.

Does it hurt?

 

That prioritized thumb

 

Pinning your will with darts.

 

Wriggling your way into false self-explanations

 

As to never admit defeat. But old pal, you know it’s true.

You've hit the bulls eye,

 

You've met your match.

 

Walk the tracks.
