in case something brilliant comes to mind
I'll twiddle this pen between my tenacious teeth
lips pursed in careful concentration
my tongue peaks out bravely like that of a verbal
sword from its shapely snug sheath
to ascertain the splendid situation
step to the pounding pace yee dead brain cells
from the left wing
bring forth your great perception and your dedication
and depth to any even puny petulant pipe-dream
stick around to face your fears and tears
and steer clear of any negative opinions one
so rumorously hears
don't hit so hard upon grief and ground
you can only fall so fast downward bound
you are most assuredly the truest antagonist
you do undoubtedly get the general gist
gentle fair mind so willing to pursue potential
poetic ponder
do not let brilliance go off to where ever it wishes
to wonder
it may never readily wish to return
so the final question lay atop the meticulous mind
can one actually fabricate the truth so to discern....
