Into another morning
I've been pondering
Far too much
Too many questions --
Remain unanswered
Too many searches --
Continue emptily
I've nothing to display
Beyond my words
My dwindling writings
They too are withering
Within this glare
I've been placed --
"Under a spotlight"
A lunatic's illumination
Of senseless absurdities
Too many to number
Or organize by index
As the tide vanishes
My life-force recedes
Prematurely?
Or too late?
Or both simultaneously?
Too many repetitions
Too many abuses.
Ah, but HE knows --
This lingering validity
A small fraction --
Of this definition
He may realize?
The remainder --
He's warped entirely
Perhaps he knows --
Perhaps he doesn't
It's all in the measure --
Of his own insanity
He isn’t special
He's no exception
He's merely more --
Bizarre than the rest
He's more contagious --
Notably more infectious
Than his predecessors
He's a repetition --
In long range damages
Or rare fashion
Another potential --
Goblin in the brush
A lot more psychopathic --
Than his predecessors
Incessantly more delusional --
Than his predecessors
A little less predictable --
Than his predecessors
A lot less focused --
Upon the chosen victim
Than his predecessors
He can't chose one --
Particular victim
As did his forerunner(s)
And then his predecessor(s)
Aren't what he believes --
They/he are in reality
His predecessor(s) were --
Prosaic in comparison
They/he was/were common --
Also unworthy of erudition
Of this stalking nature
Alas ---
It's all in the measure --
Of his own insanity!
Beyond my control --
Beyond the reach
Of comprehension.
