downfall

i get off
on intellectual inspiration
enclaves of persuasion
catch my tongue
in rhapsody
and so easily
i fall victim
yet i enjoy the
death in life
for by surprise
i neither stay down
nor get up
i rejoice
in the ruts
and then i laugh
and then i love
and then i live
and then i laugh
again
sudden mind
bends and twists like
capricorn horns
you adorn me
with tantalizing euphemisms
that i
NEVER
understand
