bound by none
a captive of my own dormant sea
coercing contrivance
culled of indolence
each letter bearing down
with the weight of immutability
muniting this effigy’s mired affectations
where i hover in harrowed paresis
with hastening mind
and spent filings spurned
i lean hard upon whetstone
perpetual vacillation
dulling to impasse
Max, or Not
