Paradox of Panic
When the cavalcade
in all its bluster
surrenders a gasp
to mutilation,
demands for reason
remind the renegade
that independence in isolation
ensures despair
regardless of economy
or lifting diction
until cornered,
provoking the reactive dongle
to flair each lizard eye
of survival with fangs
or invisibility
while skittering
like scandal onward
to twist the
imagination of
every blistered soul
before finally
branding the fringe
of consciousness
in harmonic accord.
