Ordered discord

Smeared In a pattern.
This Rorschach abstraction.
Flowing like satin.
In cascading fashion.

Symmetry, mimicry.
Mirroring the mind.
Coddling, throttling.
Either or is fine.

Full to bursting.
Ache encephalitis.
In many minds of how this building 
pressure will ignite us.

"Ticky tacky" tinderboxes.
Longing for the flame.
Effigies of rememberance.
Not all burn the same.

The beauty of the sanguine bloom, 
detonator primed.
T-minus the countdown.
Get on with the ride.

Functional, nominal.
Broken by design.
Apathy, empathy.
Whatever's left is mine.

In written depiction.
This Incessant chatter.
An empty inscription.
For a mindless matter.
