The living legend is ****** into a rut of pining for his splendid playwright She was his everything A new breed of woman No societal entourage could compare No jovial jubilee could top her Her humongous measure of perplexity Her grace Her charm Her mystery He now despises himself for this moment of nostalgic weeping The mucus makes it hard for him to breathe with his deviated septum He looks for something to alleviate his sniffling And eviscerate all his emotional anguish Nasal spray and bourbon He can breathe but the alcohol only exacerbates the visceral issue And dampens his already flaccid spirit   Clouted with the disheartening reminder that it wasn't all her fault He fumbles with the bottle while retracing the event in his mind "It was the golden age of bronze metals" "She was asked to do as she was told" "A white lie" "A foul up" "An accusation" "An accessory to ****** "Madcap ad libbed alibis and recounts verbatim" "She turned on them, they killed her" The bourbon was gone, his nose was stuffed again Wheezing, gagging, crying   What's the word for when a living legend wants to die?
