Cold, spilled coffee on my wrist, and
Noticed it too late, it's in the mechanism,
Causing mischief. If I can't even succeed
At coffee, what hope is there. Nane.
I have too many tomes, and will have
To run along three lifetimes to
Traverse them all. Shame. But o'er
The third I'd be worse off, blamey.
Bebop shine amongst the music genres,
Given it's on now, feels great, enumeration of
The entire genre in one singsong. Bope!
And taken my heart through spirals.
Feel emotional about cultivating my
Talent into vibey nostalgia show,
Like petulant rondeau, with ill
Rhythm, and sick wind.
Waiting for the serpiginous onset of
Mortality and rebirth, can't be much
Longer, feel it calling my name with
Vertiginous breath.
But there, waiting in that black pool,
Corner pool, with sucked-in teeth,
Is the truth. No, you won't ascend.
Barely condescend (which you have). Balm!
Ben Wheele (1987)
