Crippled legs and a broken fence

Fail your justified disgust attempts.

The slippery slope of certainty

Ceases to apply to my certain hatreds.

Watching the jello-spined flailer’s flail 

While their disingenuous clemency plea 

Is met with a sound mind’s hard-denial. 

I lay here – knees up, back pressed – 

For over half-century

Introduction to Physics 

Teaches if one travels to

Antipodal Earth via enter-cut

Gravity tube, travel time would last

42 minutes and 12 seconds. 

And these days, an invisible monster

Pervades insistence of my need for sleep.
