::

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -The Worthily Beloved William Shakespeare

A day of dreary grim I woke in anxious fret
and greeted light of tint that darkness did collect
and to the depths of dank dark I swept
to realms of demons who for nothing wept
but fluttered in by gems beset
to greet the day of sinister fret.

Their suffocating eyes did rise attending to my whims,
feeding my attention to cajole my flaccid limbs
and birthed in me the dark decree to forever hear my whims
and satisfy them, satisfy them with attention to my limbs.

I rose unto the earthly world, transfixed and so expectant,
my mind so stained by eyes so famed by their fluid drug,
and I saw the earthly world of goodness too devoid
for who was to now at me gaze?
