What's Your Toxin

Lichen adhered to tree's trunk encrusts its capacity
Patches of debauchery, bumpy story depicts warts
Climb skyward inhibited by extra growth grotesque 
A habit steers without cognition, clutched roadmap 


Tipple ripples laughter beneath a turbulent fountain 
Frantic factory produces smoothly upon first guzzle
Unified aim wastes chaos, pours tranquillity on dust
Pasted nerves pacified stick with visions of Nirvana 


Ego free to abandon its cage, street stomp rampage 
Drank moderate half bottle is replaceable tomorrow 
Appears bearing beseechment of devilish yesterday 
A sip didn't administer mist thick enough to sleep on


Thimble begins ruined resolve, vat improving futures
Quantified estatic elation equivalent to liquid imbibed
Reign of rib rub anointing sterilises dried callous cuts
Sun stream runs nude nonchalant in dim changeroom
