And though ill equipped, never gave up
But while in the big game
His groin was the puck’s aim
He said, “No sweat, I’m wearing Stanley’s cup.”...

While other birds ran away and hid,
That is not what the dodo did
And, sadly, being ill-equipped to thrive

Barren sullen devoid of all color
Blank canvas plastered 
But Ill equipped inequities 
Of casual sexual diversity
Allow my first stroke

THE POET LIVES LONG BUT OBSERVES,
ILL EQUIPPED FOR STATING GRACE-
IN GRACELESSNESS CONCEDES HER IGNORANCE.

Unable to suppress the torment
that accompanies excruciating reminders 
The tortured mind bleeds out
and the body falls to the ground...
