some sort of rough chaos dictates the following...
           can't bleat
          a swallowing
            thin crease
              a minor alteration
    the seventh year
twitch
       & sprung is my fink
  making demands
  a tinker in his eye
         & the waterworks hailing
                    from his rapid claws
  commands much work
spun nylon from my whipped flaws
destruct the family plans
               its for a wick lit cause
fist the winnings up your purse
      spill the prophecy
              hail a taxi
     & concrete the curse

Start with a fresh idea.
It appears crystal clear and lucid,
the fringes stretching and fabricating on their own.
It looks good, so far.

I put my pen down to write.
A diabolic blot of ink drops.
A white haze infuses itself and now it has all become murky,
no longer as apparent.
Almost as if a frosted glass screen has descended, blocking my horizon.

I HAVE to shatter the glass. I stand beside the pile of hammers.
I HAVE to pick one.

A battle to fight, every day. Every day… every day…
every day, a fink.

— The End —
