Ink roached infestation didst derive within mice elf

Thus writer of these words

forever mus lee experiencing

craving to eat cheese,

a milk product

eternally preserved within

annals, chronicles, epistles,

et cetera of human civilization

and it's discontents

analogous viz ode (old)

as time itself and lustressly

buttressed on a Grecian Ode frieze

linkedin to Sosibios Vase inductees.

Carp diem bespeaks moment to seize,

whether above memorialized chaste lovers

or emblematic, iconic and opportunistic

actresses Thelma and Louise

the 90's film of female rage

an adventure road drama

caper they did stage,

but aforementioned oversees

Rameses synonymous with prolific

Nothing but gridlock traffic

(far as thee eye could see)

heading east on Schuylkill Expressway

(oxymoronic name for quickest route

into Greek translation

center city of brotherly love,

albeit Philadelphia),

yet this papa promised eldest daughter

then freshly minted University

of Pennsylvania graduate

hoping to make amends

prior to first born heading

of into blue, ...er rather green,

asper legal tender beyond

without doubt experiencing more

financial security than yours truly,

whose penurious crisis

tantamount to being self ostracized

within luxe MainLine,

where one percent flaunt their wealth

disparage dirt poor

festive folks like this sir

meaning husband, his spouse

plus attendant two biological kin

reinforcing feeling inferior,

among those earning or

inheriting fistfulls of moolah,

said offspring also lodged opprobrium

citing slovenly housekeeping

amidst generations (Zison heirlooms)

housed within residence

at 1148 Greentree Lane

yielding barely ample space

our family of four analogous

to sardines in a tin packed to the gills,

which pennilessness exacerbated

since neither mama

nor papa (me) worked

reasons squarely triangulated

asper myself –

unsung hero of tom tom club

chronic anxiety, panic attacks

with concomitant courtesy benefits;

adrenaline maddeningly coursing thru veins

palms sweating profusely, racing heart

irritable bowels syndrome, nausea, vertigo...

physiological symptoms

played offal, nasty, malicious

cruel version of

knick knack paddy whack...

with these lovely bones

severely disabled me to function

academia, employment, socialization...

imperiled satisfactory existence

learning, working, commingling

felt like butchered bovine

at slaughterhouse five.

Bonhomie within new riders

on the purple sage foo fighting

beastie boy here

in short air supply,

an evanescent understatement,

now impossible mission to recoup

sabotaged, jackbooted, atrophied....

blissful happy go lucky little boy

blessedly energetic innately

nervousness found

yours truly tensing up,

manifesting cringing pose

no matter parents lenient,

though father soulfully

bellowed stern rebukes

perhaps interpreting paternal rejection

sole son less gifted prowess with smarts

in short, no weigh,

shape, or form, a polymath

cultivated, habituated, ossified

once playful quirky little rascal

set tilled under veritable weathered

sedimentary stagnancy for peat sakes

psyche got bogged down

into impermeable metamorphic

igneous hardrock.
