Tyrannical Foreplay



What was supposed to be the day this egregious 
weight divested itself by leaving these tyrannised 
shoulders just didn’t come to pass - and we’re no 
further along th’ road where recovery asks insane 
privileges to heighten its claim - but then scenery 
steps back aways toward more persnickety - and 
even further tests to establish what might explain 
why, ever in the first place, suffering even began  

So another week arranges itself into a blind alley 
we just have to play tedious games with; & either 
we’re sick as all get up and go or there’s proof it 
isn’t th’ non sequitur it seemed to be - but woe’s 
the willy-nilly that has me a rope-a-doped beast; 
so we’ll roll with this play - & wait for the feast…
