the cruelty of a brain in love

the cruel knife is curling....

eeking out the careful things....

surgically swift...cynically caring......this issue of sharing......

sped thru the highlights....don't stay or go....go with the flow....

seeks stimulation a...a heady vacation.....

it lifts from the id...and stares out blindly to bid.....

soon comes the panting...the never recanting....

the truth of their guile....no voices know how.....

it's always the same .....for that is the game....

the pressure of intuition....a most shaky condition... .

easily mustered....no mess nor no fluster....

just read...and concede...the human condition......

twixt lust and perdition.....

will happen to thee...and surely to me.....

for that uncanny knife.... slices straight thru my life ...

but the truth of the lie....will never survive......

upon careful examination...

twixt emotions exclamations... .

or sheer reverie
