SPINY back stiffens, shaky legs straighten,
WALTZ across fields of Illinois tonight, Hammond
ORGAN ruffling the blanket of summer air.
ALONE, but the memories fill the land.

BEGAN racing in my mind, breakers tumbling my attention over,
ImPEACHment of a stable sense of me:
ANGST, eater of lives. Appeal to One: remember for me the thread through my tale.

PEACH is in another castle.

Unwelcome Deposit
GROAN as I see the pigeons on the ledge again.
SCARE them? They’ll fly away, yet be back in minutes.
FECAL adornment outside my window is so gross.
CLANK! I wrangle the steam cleaner to sanitize the ledge.
Inopportune
FECAL- (and otherwise-) stained walls and floors elicit a
GROAN upon entrance; their ability to
SCARE only surpassed by a unexpected (yet unsurprising)
CLANK at the most inopportune time.
