Mild dystopian cracks open 
cobwebbed laden figurative door 
to my super charged

And let's not...

Deliberately after the murky rain fell for what seemed like years
I sat in a corner of the coffee shop on my Windows HP Pavilion x360

And calls himself the frog prince,
Though really on the outside,
