Poison

Corrosive stuff, poison. Yet far, far from
Simple; poison comes in different forms.

There is that of science:
Hydroxide sulphates, arsenic,
And longer organophosphates.

What you come to realise is that poison
Can be anything under this harsh sun.
Dissolution, dissolution, disso—
In the land, in the city, in the sea,
In
The mind.

Poison, perforating a supposedly perfect world in
Patterns lacking any proper parameters...despite
Our strug-
-gles.

Poison, flowing down this pen.
Intoxicating your brain.
