Have gotten too immersed
in stanza & verse
as if being coerced
Outright prose averse
Struck by rhymatic fever
meant my social death knell
Life under lifted cleaver
casts lonely outcast’s spell
Keeps fumbling the prosody
until turns tragicomedy
which fades in aprosody
until picks up in psalmody
The mere sometimes lapse or slip
or am I losing my grip?
