why
do you not
hear these pleas
to reflect
my state of ruin?
how is it
such words project
inflections
paradoxical?
then,
to hear them
paraphrased
with such aberrant
intonation
altogether bastardizing
every crux
of their intention
what
pray tell
of my expression
disinherits
its avowal
moving you
to mock its merit
feigning ignorance
most foul
that there would
exist displeasure
sourcing
from outside oneself
is by no means
any measure
yours
had thus been
duly shelved
