Anything But Him

Peripatetic movement impedes as I draw near to an atrocious condemned king
Probing him, in conceptualizing & equating potential 
Composure rapidly decomposes, investigating potential future
Ever so sickening to these eyes, sluggish gags massage my throat 
Am I to develop in any fashion of this creature? 
Recuperating composure and ingesting gags peripatetic movement finds its place in 
contemporary time
The words I articulate to such a fiend, “Hey dad, how’s it going?”
