A student of mine sat on the steps Clenched, clammy, and bulging with strained strength Periodically overcome by shadows of pathology This night he begged for help through gaps of cyclical consciousness A funeral trail for clarity ambled solemnly to the gymnasium He was surrounded, and they plotted, and advanced, and he was engulfed They were upon him like a ****** seeking seed or vulture carrion He seized on an arched back and suffered under octodemons On that hard wood floor under dead bulbs that swung like momentous pendulums My student transformed into a tiger leaking rage from rusty cage Explained in eloquent detail and prophetic tone his will to **** Blacking out to full extent He was amygdala, he was instinct Battling grown poachers until they stole his fearsome fangs Clipped his claws, and painted over his stripes with calm When contained, vicious umbra cat turned tranquil We sat circular and played lobster ball pass with our toes And talked about buses to New York His mother taught him to be a songbird While the streets moved his feet Goodnight Archery, we hugged I wonder how he's Breathing

A student of mine sat on the steps Clenched, clammy, and bulging with strained strength Periodically overcome by shadows of pathology This night he begged for help through gaps of cyclical consciousness A funeral trail for clarity ambled solemnly to the gymnasium He was surrounded, and they plotted, and advanced, and he was engulfed They were upon him like a ****** seeking seed or vulture carrion He seized on an arched back and suffered under octodemons On that hard wood floor under dead bulbs that swung like momentous pendulums My student transformed into a tiger leaking rage from rusty cage Explained in eloquent detail and prophetic tone his will to **** Blacking out to full extent He was amygdala, he was instinct Battling grown poachers until they stole his fearsome fangs Clipped his claws, and painted over his stripes with calm When contained, vicious umbra cat turned tranquil We sat circular and played lobster ball pass with our toes And talked about buses to New York His mother taught him to be a songbird While the streets moved his feet Goodnight Archery, we hugged I wonder how he's Breathing
