Ever After

Life hypnotic,
Diastolic,
Scattered ashes,
New narcotics.

Boiled peanuts
In arenas.
Dirty collars
At the cleaners.

I surmised it.
Fantasized it.
Fell to fashion.
Satirized it.

Blurry vision.
Wet incision.
Lobes left dangling
With precision.

Zipper laden.
Stuck, frustrating.
Screeching, jaundiced
Milking maiden.

Awful, awestruck.
Karmic tow truck.
Frozen folly.
Chinese good luck.

Stop obsessing.
Wound your dressings.
Ever after,
Count your blessings.
