Tenterhooks Unglued - 'Cessation' Contest

    my disembodied i floats above 
      ego… id… superego 
    constructs psychological
      cum gravitas, or so they are told

    straining, clawing
      the drumbeat frantic
    as mine is subdued, 
      tenterhooks unglued...   

    the universal chord 
      syncing
    my pulse purring
