Endurance

yesterday, I caught my words crying

not out but within.

cryptic and concealed no more

as the rain poured up

and the ice melted shut. The muscles

isotonic strain kindles heart filled

hurtful strength as

endurance accelerates.

Wasted ones and fives

on groped lonely women.

 

The ******* forgot the fishbowl

and his keys on government steps

but remembered the leaky wineglass.

Total recall enforced

the key ring's silhouette rolls on by

looking for the keys

to grab a broom and clean up this mess

of market debt and ajar markets.

 

Ceiling tiles mist and swirl

and wait for mercy to strike again
