Not appearing in The Irony Board (or elsewhere):
Obsessions are magnified
At one end of a tunnel;
At the other the obsessed
Are poured through a funnel.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Doubling helix
Releasing the growth valve,
The tropic of cancer
Is a turn for the worse.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I thought I
Was too big
To fit in
This corner;
Fittingly,
I just had
A corner
On big thoughts.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Just before I’m
Bored to tears I
Fall to pieces:
Cancel the mop
And bring the broom.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
If what to believe
You don’t know by now,
It’s time to perceive
You just don’t know how.
