Another contest
  despaired of my fate

So down and depressed 
  threw up what I ate

Just me and Simone Biles
  'cept for 'one or two traits...'

I'd plumb forgotten
  how my pen thinks

By the time I remembered
  I'd run out of ink

So, Simone, my dear
  we've lots in common

We both lost our grip
  ~ then hit rock bottom...

Simone Biles
International superstar
Most worthy of a world-wide 
Ovation
Never to be topped for
Excellence in accomplishment

Because she’s a gymnast par excellence
Incredibly talented
Long may she receive
Every recognition
She so richly deserves

death deepens with months
the passing sands by swath-sweep
the telephone sleeps
except for sibling-mourners
moaning for vocals from mom

dad shovels himself
out of his quiet mattress
aching with absence
half-alive, not dead
the one left behind

dirgelike rings of cell
mom won’t answer, but dad will
stir the stomach biles,
tighten the chest, dry the throat.
sadness listing old man’s boat

I've driven the fractured broken miles;
Passing by a many of distant smiles;
Running over divert sewers smells biles;
Children playing in the streets watch child;
I'll be in discuss his struck by a truck while,
Diddle-dattilling daring feeling immortal;
Like an armed  enforcer battle soldiers;
The citizens are more sinful, hurtful;
Automotive conjunctions lurks forth full;
Traveling hits and runs where's the closure;
