Always angry, always aware. Before basic banalities, before…

Cancel. Delete. Erase. Forget.

God, getting gregarious. Hate having hackles, hellish harassment.

I involve incomers, interlopers, intruders.

Just jarring jargon jeering.

Keep knowledge kindly. Loss likely, loss laborious.

Make memories. Never neglect narration. Out of oratory, obtain observation.

Please, pity.

Quietly quicken, question. Realize rarity.

Stories selectively shared, so sense satisfaction.

Too towering to tell, the time takes to talk, to think.

Unlucky, unholy, umbrage unabashed. Voodoo, villainry? Witchcraft? x…

x….

x…

xylophone. Ziltch.

After all attempts, affliction always an aloof alphabet.
