EVER STRAINING: BUT FOR ANOTHER CUP OF SUCH WISTFUL PISS!

Folder: 
JOURNAL #27

unsettled attraction

a harmless gaff

a shade even less

perhaps

this latest mesmerization's

most particular montage

such flurry of pinched and backward fretting

the consequence precedes the action

Einstein in theory

is waiting in his cloak room

with notes and chalk at firm readiness

to disprove the relativity

this time of love

damn, but I can't stand the bleeding hearts

crap

toted by a self defiling pedantic

and yet I despise rigidity of any kind

any more

so bring on the hearts and flowers

regale the old 'on but thou art' doomed

love poetry

I can even almost hear the crockery starting

to weep now

hell be blasted alive

Shakespeare lived for just such word orgies

while the rest

his supposed counterparts

merely limp wrists with borrowed in no doubt

floundered on

limping

then dying

into the most ancient pit

for all obscurity

historic footnotes

pale, thin as paper

afterthoughts

to Shakespeare's time of greatness

the poor fools

in many ways

I personally would have hated to know him

imagine that............
