Cascading Consciousness

Oh painful pain lingering throbbing unjoyously flaunt that false grin again bring me terror of the unstable mind where rabid horses trample garden gates where pampered vines bleed broth and sap no food no flavors just herbal failures not yet extracted the untended tend to decay “thank you no” do I ever say I talk I think I never pray gracious gratitude fails twice to patronize with sincerity I then bend as if to bow in garbled words of paradise lost I mumble hollow truths to appease omniscient listeners who know nothing but ideal fears admire and adore their perfect faults escape/avoid/evade the drought desiccated hope like dust is blown out of your mouth and into my mind dreams become fossils molehills colossal
