with kidnapping little boy 
ordered to suffer
life sentence without parole.

The deadly scourge of

Anorexia nervosa absent bulimia 
nadir of onset

were uncomprehended . . . far, far...

Stricken with turbulence at about seventy two inches

Yours truly issuing a deafening rebel yell
bursting forth with such might
courtesy cooking under pressure
analogous to volcanic upswell,
forcing me quickly to flap vestigial wings
(at the speed of sound)
while simultaneously...

Wrinkled forehead creases as he looks at me
From the burgundy sofa where he lives most days
Free of things like water bills and car payments
He lies down to eat and drag slowly on a cigarette

better before you went to school
as compared to after?

thru pitchblack emotional prison
vestigial shadow figure hunkers,
an atrophied, mortified, petrified old man

his abysmally forlorn existence
scotched, sabotaged, severely short changed
agonizing depression tortures psyche
family abandoned nsync,

Within the fractal flow of nature’s symmetry.
