sent

wait

used to be a vandal

used to be a goth

now just an insect

quite possibly a moth

the sound of breaking glass

the shrill shatter that matters

the splintered flash splatter

the splintered mirrors in tatters

exist only in inert gasses

tempered in a fiery hell

expelled by the masses

the light

the bright

the point of flash

the love of bacon

and other things rash

save a quiet me

for those quiet times

all whilst revelling

in the simplicity

of easy go to rhymes

idiot dribble

flecks pursed lips

pursuing quips

future drips

inane drivel

pummels organic walls

from the inside

hot ghost ass and turmeric

shot ab flash and hooning

everyone's gooning or mooning

booming zed zooming millennia

one plus one

will always be two

it may be wrong

and also true

i don't make the rules

and neither do you

either way

put it all back

bets are hedged

the bled,

belled and edged

tight corners are wedged

waxheads are skegs
