i'm not a master, i'm no man. snot drips from the nostril, the sizzle grips the saucepan. static head in the negative degree, below freezing weather, i do believe. stone cold stare at the fire ablaze, blood boil, bubble bath and turmoil, death to the royals. potbellies to the gifted, flight or fight feelings for the lesser. lack of passion, slow moving action. caught in the eye of abstraction, I lost my bond with reality. sneeze out the cake batter, dimmed lights- I'm in in my corner. the last in line, a faster pace raced in my mind. blurred vision, motionless mission. still, the snot drips as time slips through my failed finger tips.
