Cornered in a vulnerable position;
kicked and pummeled into submission.
That mad horse had its way,
I lay dazed on the hay,
but am found in a stable condition....

A yipping frenzy.

Stuck in nasty devil’s clutches,

A Need To Be Cornered
Birds go crazy

brushes gently against lightning encrypted in a cornea battered
dangles iridescent prisms of hope condensed on retinal shadows
and works its kind dreams into the eye of the grateful beholder...

Yes I am
The Bandit
Cornered the market in   Cool
And yes
Stolen the best seat in the house 

Now would you be a pet and fetch me a saucer of milk?
