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

Great prose.I am going to have to steal rough toughie to use in conversation.I will do my best to never plagiarize it in written form,however imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.Enjoyed.
