As I Watch the Cognate

I can’t help by slip and fall As I watch the cognate shudder But the top of this link is indeed tall Who cares, when for some reason it was smoothened? On purpose, to test my stamping gait As I watch the cognate appear to soothe The pain of the cognizance of being bait How stinky the façade, the affected smiles and winks Which choke me and aggravate my ataxia As I watch the cognate, I think of my kink The kink I made myself with no anesthesia For as saturation is no good without bending It is nice to be unsaturated; just a little bending As I watch the cognate curl the sarcasms in wits I cannot agree less, I haven’t been more than a dimwit
