Extracted from a non-constructive dream
musing each note in a futile scream
memories like minnows whisked downstream
moreover melancholy - caught between
Routine replacement (a real non-performer)
stalwart and lockstepped straight to the corner
choosing to obfuscate rather than bore her
escape to aether and relive the horror
Twenty straight times I find I'm just here
pausing to act, to reflect, to revere
Queries unfielded and sadness sans peer
Solemnly weeping, I'll see you next year
