BLOGGER'S BLUES

 
Dear oh dear,
hear,
 
I want to be frank,
you need to be powerfully drunk
 
to dig back all the rhymes you have lost
and can’t get now to this post,
 
they have been so fast,
flashes in the bloody bright dust:
 
time, the whole time seems to have perpetually missed them
caught in the buzz of its own ticking phlegm
 
that in the end tells you to shut up, give up any strife,
you already knew, didn’t you?, this is just life,
 
it had already warned us, unsheathing his sword:
“the word within a word unable to speak a word”.

Ultimately sad.

For me this stood out - this and the final brilliant line.

All-in-all, a pretty amazing piece.
