In A Frenzy

in a frenzy . . . .

     he fritters away time

         like a drunken sailor

   frivolity his modem

       unabashed sexual innuendos

   hung upon bare verses

           like old broken ornaments 

       on a dried up christmas tree . . . .

   death at his doorstep

The tragedy of a life dialed

The tragedy of a life dialed up, restless and frantic while simultaneously mired in a slow and inwardly squalid death: Wow, this cuts deep.

 

Skillfully depicted with heart-crushing, unforgettable metaphors and unflinching realism, this is a stellar example of a cautionary portrait. Very well done! Important and impressive work.
