Villanelle: Whose Voice So Insistent and So Early To Whine

illanelle: Whose voice so insistent and so early to whine (I have just found a poem I wrote three days before I was tossed up and knocked down by a speeding car while I was mid-way on a zebra- crossing on an entry-road to a mosque. I had the right of way. The curious thing was/is that I saw no car approaching from the right. The driver - a Tunisian in a hurry to pay his respects to Allah - did not, according to him, see me either. Curious! P.S. The car hit me right where there is a 30km speed limit signpost in front of a primary school, and the driver is still driving around in a postal services delivery van. Vive la France! Viva la Francia! The emasculation through isolation and the strangulation through noise nuisance continue unabated! The Brave New World! under Socialist management!) Whose voice so insistent and so early to whine Jabbering heads rap on the panes of my ears Can howling winds meticulous eke out Nature's design Last Exit to Brooklyn not by rote every line Requiem for a Dream's stream of consciousness leers Whose voice so insistent and so early to whine Do my words madly rushing winds now entwine Whose bones rattle in the shutters of my fears Can howling winds meticulous eke out Nature's design Does the magic fridge's realism pop pills divine Make me look the svelte creature the world requires Whose voice so insistent and so early to whine The Algebra of Need's burning cold in my vein Black dealer king's piston bursting through dry tears Can howling winds meticulous eke out Nature's design The gaping hunger in my soul sickens in my brine Spoon-fed needlefuls bloat attention in dears Whose voice so insistent and so early to whine Can howling winds meticulous eke out Nature's design (c) T. Wignesan, Paris – February 6, 2015
