Because Defining in vitro Didn't Sound As Good

Receding back to my usual corner

only passing time til I'm introduced to my coroner

attempting to inject fine knowledge into semantic memory

when a sudden wave of parinoier washes over the scenery

 

Unfortunately having drank all this coffee

with enough caffeine to **** the energizer bunny

my parched throat compels a leathery thirst

so I take another sip and act as the hearse

but as I'm throwing the soiled cup away

the coffee didn't quite go the way

...I had planed

 

As I begin coughing out loud in quiet public spaces

a disastrous look comes from their squinted little faces

as if they've been trapped and caged liked vermin

too long is some building deemed antiquarian

 

attempting assertion over upcoming coercions

I must admit I'm rather enjoying this

disrupting there gathering of information

with my uncontrolled vocal insertions

 

but enough with my cynical social actions

I must return to my work with which I have no passion

and because I've become bored with rereading these lines

I must retire to my higher cognitive confines
