yoked millstone around my neck
rivaling the world Atlas shrugged,
or outsize boulder Sisyphus

eternally obliged to toil uphill
steepest mountain side

Battlestar Galactica pièce de résistance
ear splitting discordant cacophonous din.

Simultaneously analogous twin tower

I'm squirming in a chair of oak,
with narrow arms.  My buttocks numb,
and all the while the clock ticks on.
