hence, he betook himself 
to this MacBook Pro, 
while swiss side dull ideations 

for professional intercession, could not wait
asper affecting cathartic, 
purgative, harmonic tête-à-tête
and providing a meaningful surrogate
to expunge morbid mental state
accessed Open Office 
and let fingers 
(of left hand) do talking heads
to an imaginary therapist
across this qwerty keyboard 

allowing, enabling, and 
at the quickest typing rate
striving to captcha dismal, gloomy, 
and ill lust tree us 
deplorable mood aye equate
with pitching into 
a bottomless abyss where pate
fed ceaseless diet of NON GMO –

particularly when henchmen to die for

to snatch a generic guy a create
an underground soiree will cease, 
when ashes master 
of hell raising 
unpleasant circumstances twill use as bait
