Torturous Existence
Perspiration encompasses phalanges
insinuating physiological absolute
zero tolerance nuisance far and wide
across time space
continuum the upside
incorporating various
whereby sundry remedies tried,
and yes obliteration
of self (via Suez side ),
would constitute an
extreme measure (NOT
blithely NOR eagerly
the path taken) to stop ride
ding slippery dripping
surfaces wet when wet palms touch
of hands incessantly, frustratingly,
and chronically sweaty,
yet every obvious remedy
under the sun, moon,
stars, et cetera ap plied,
yet no matter the central
air condition set
at sixty degrees Fahrenheit
even when temperature colder outside
especially as twilight
ushers cool nightside
crazy farfetched ideas
for instance breathing carbon monoxide
races thru thine noggin,
like so much cuz harmful
odious bilge water
(wicked yucky emotional effluvium)
handily intent to cause landslide
thence posse sub billy reincarnating me
into a shackled serf locked up
inside a rat infested dungeon,
nonetheless in earshot of hoi polloi,
while lavish feast displayed kingside
which previous life
found me taking joyride
with his highness until...
these limp wet dishrag fleshy mitts
angered royal majesty
damning yours truly,
whose ins hide
sought refuse within
thy inner poet as guide
which explains this
hashed out rhyme
from the farside,
per outer limits of the
twilight zone eternally eventide.
