Ballistophobia

Grace wastes its time on me
A signatory to what’s minimal
If not mandatory and in all its
Glory decidedly tardy to forgive
one’s commonplace look see
to locate the nearest exit
when existence leans a bit
brittle with what one could
confuse as in being but basically
bitter.

    So much poetry in “Grace wastes” and later “commonplace”; and add to that “existence” leaning “brittle,” summing up to “basically bitter”—captures so much concisely. Love the beat, too—so much “filth” with elevating horns … sweet!
