Point of Collapse
A Shakespearean sonnet.
December 10, 2021
‘Twas a sad and fretful morning,
For I knew anon that it would last,
So there I sat and thought hither, forlorning,
Of moments long and moments past.
‘Twixt us, young mind, there is no relation;
We are separated by a distant grave
On which the latter endures vicious beration
From which thyself he cannot save.
And so I ponder, my thoughts belittling
That the angel named hope wilt not relieve thy pain;
My breath dark and cold, digits aimlessly twiddling,
By devil or deduction, my spirit is slain.
Fie and farewell, my poor sane synapse!;
You have driven me to the point of collapse.
