Alone, this evening,
I see despair and darkness
wrestling in the wind
with these questions:
How much misery do I need
until I say enough?
Why must I still have to stay
instead of sayin' goodbye?
The beer in the gleaming glass
is like bubbling brook,
tempting me to quaff its acrid taste
to let the pain peter out
until my brain feels a brief
oblivion.
A bewildered alphabet
Struggles
To form words
Its letters tumble
Through the turbulence
Of thought’s tyranny
Syllables scamper sillily
In search of Iambs
Stretching the seams
Of ill-fitted suits
As punctuation ponders its place
Lost in a colonic comma coma
As the meters peter out
Amid the harsh drumming
Of repetitive endings
Thus, do the letters taunt
the free range haunts
of cage free thought
Written by Gail DeBole
Phillip Buster could fluster a room -
Full of men whose anger ballooned
When came his turn to speak,
Congress snored for a week,
All dreaming he'd peter out soon.

Gail's note: Filibuster - Type of parliamentary procedure.
Right of the individual to extend debate allowing the lone
member to delay or prevent a vote on a proposal. -Wikipedia
