Tom Pennacchini Poet Ballad

Sense of Reprieve

yes madness no
i cannot -
hear
for all the talk talk ...
see 
for the smile displays a horror
the 
odoriferous stench 
of the inevitable inimical political scientifical 
is a rough toughie 
I refuse the obligation when the 
taste 
rankles to a treacle so 
keep talking -
while I  
touch 
a leaf 
to  feel my life
