This bruised and battered
     levity
Backs me to this wall
     and fit
To curl and pounce
     in Burgeois vogue
On every wrong you've
          done me.

These empty wallets you've
     lent us
Are little padding for this
     curtained room
In calculated moves
     of a warring art
Against the hum of this
          ever-twisting machine.

It's time I called
     on you
In new serendipity,
     harmless
But everlasting
     once I pursue
Sketching plans
          in Higher Truths.
I originally began this as the lyrics to a song for a friend. But it spiralled out of control. I tried to restrain the pen, but it did whatever it wanted and dashed to and fro. This is the result.
