PURITAN

Ever
The watchful

Puritan
The epic

Written
Out

Tapped out
On an old smith-corona

The need
To exercise

The speed
At which

Thought overtakes
Action

The impurity
Of movement

In its
Solo singularity

Hilarity
And its blushing

Cousin,
Necessity.

Away for the weekend
shit-faced and forgotten.

In the trailer-park
Of the mind.
