Maintenance Man
Gamely show myself mercy.
Incubate my belfry. Occasionally
I am a virus. Banning compromise
would invite coup. Manifold pop,
endangered demands engagement.
My hands preserve. Status quo
daily dogfight. Caliginous mottle,
interpret grapnel anchor. Regular
Lernaean Hydra bite. Lake wet
throat. I evacuate my dinghy.
Exit the area fairly ungainly,
self-taught swimmer. Lungs
accommodate, fluently. I can
get away. I can forage. I can
eat. Unwinding far easier said
than done. Figured qualmishness
would be involved, way dizzy, toll
paid. I remain committed. Gladden
the arc. Puerto Rican coffee, jazz
record, bake my bright side.
