Matthew Harris Poet Bio

Obsessive Constraints Part One

Thy birth on January 13th – 
   cervical contractions 
   would not abate
the pesky master (papa), strove 
   to synchronize seminal bait

thence, forty-two weeks 
   after ma parents did pro create 
imminent lviii plus years ago to date, 
this present baby boomer doth 
   indubitably and inherently equate

nineteen hundred and fifty nine 
   bequeathed birthed mine kempf ill fate
neurological manifestation, 
   sans obsessive compulsive did grate

behavioral motif and analogous 
   to frontispiece per story I hate
of my life and hard times, 
   when all of a sudden out blue irate,

the onset of emotional nadir, 
   where ballistic ordnance bombed away
fancy free, innocent, naïve boyhood 
   decrying, detonating, 
   and describing me own Pigs Bay

Allied, linkedin, and synced Luftwaffe 
   and Panzer division invasion that clay
like materiel within southern cerebral hemi
   sphere inroads usurped no delay

riding roughshod via synapse straits sporting 
   scoring sorties using every
axe n newer on dread did 
   Swiss hide dill naught 

   to decimate with spirited ghost 
   of William Tecumseh Sherman 
   determination tuff flay
leaving not one iota (oft times) 
   referenced as gray
matter unaffected quite aware 
   of rebellious confederated voices 
   yelling “HOORAY”

Sabotaging orbitofrontal communication 
incorporating connection between anterior 
cingulate gyrus cortex heightening activity 
bridging (via atom sized pontoon bridges) 

greater activity upon basal ganglia, which 
synoptic description does nothing to alter 
the predisposition to ingress of un control
able imbecilic, inexplicable, and illogical 
fixation particularly during onset of puberty, 

when an emotional kamikaze nose dive 
at nadir of near lifelessness, the shadow 
of me former self nowhere tubby found 
on account of deadly symbiotic relationship.
