Through Life's Clenched Jaw

Into an inescapable 
invisible net watery entrapment wove
ransacking access to treasure trove 
compromising, jack-knifing, 
and zapping diversity, 
equity and integrity
grooming yours truly 
into unbridled total lit Aryan   
of minimum headroom,
a webbed wide whitened world 
spun me nippy nap noopy 
until woozy with dizzy spells 
pitched me body sky-high 
analogous to being tossed 
on par with a Mattie Mattel doll
or like a tempest in a teapot
indiscriminately flailing me courtesy 
the tempestuous seas by jove
from wuthering heights hove
and immediately found me plummeting
slamming me mercilessly likened 
to a crash test dummy into troughs
upon saturating me despite 
wearing layers of clothing and armor, 
including an arming doublet or gambeson 
as an under-layer, 
a mail hauberk or full plate armor, 
and a cloth surcoat over the mail 
to display mine coat of arms, 
and protect the metal from the sun,
yet escutcheon coat of arms 
bore the brunt of whiplashing 
withstood the ceaseless bashing
now cue In Greek mythology,
Typhon (or Typhoeus)
the monstrous giant, 
and the personification of violent storms
nonstop breaking fast 
devastating onslaught of pounding 
analogous to frenzied 
bay city roller coaster fiend 
uber towering, hash-tagging, 
and similar to battering ram 
videlicet pitting humungous 
wall of water drove,
where tsunami swept me from above
spitting mine lovely bones 
upon a deserted island.

To remedy a fate worse than death,
or orange hair oaf at date 
of original date 
crafting manuscript then becoming 
forty seventh president,
or contracting one
of several viral diseases named pox
permeate heavy shut tight door 
with numerous deadbolts 
and sophisticated locks
and impossible mission to out fox
analogous to roach infestation,
who favor nesting within custom made
Roper men's shoes brand name Docks.

Upon prima facie first blush
me mind's eye all atwitter,
sans long forgotten
"FAKE" sexual exploits
set mum (chrysos anthem) all aglitter,
boot like short order cook I hapt tubby
quickly realized trumpeting collusion,
a near fatal collision course
with Das scribe's antimatter
caw zing friggin insomnia
finding ma noggin scrambled
likesome lithesome cockamamie critter
whipped into frenzy
like battered butter
holy grits, alm manned 
in fight of ma life
cause I haint acquitter
baa (jaw edge), ah woe – cup 
early this morning feeling
hedged hog extremely bushed 'n bitter,
this raging red bull inside me mind,
now body wheeling wickety wack,
lichen to moss elf gut seasonal litter
bitta asthma - insides
got balled into wah racket
like quietly rioting unfetter
herd plain tennis (see) hens,
gone south tub bespatter
ear hilly jawboning jabberwocky
reducing gray matter,
and all flesh sundered
into meaty platter
to pulverized, irradiated,
cremated... faux fluffernutter batter
analogous tummy Aunt
Jemima's famous flapjacks,
she fantastically fashioned better
than Betty Crocker
tossing spatulated glommed
gook suitable as bonesetter
high as the Taj Mahal,
while she merrily jabbered,
her native patois singsong blatter
all this inaudible clatter
muffled 10,000 maniacs mad as a hatter
madly clangorous dinner cowbells
aroused bacchanalian sybaritic skitter
ring jitterbugging fantasies
of barenaked ladies doth splutter
as bedraggled, frazzled, grizzled...poetry
like cocky rooster that did stutter!
