Frightfully odious,

Lowly decorated,

Ardently scratching oneself with a razor,

Whittling away the hours sporting a grody stench,

Respite postponed for an interminable amount of time,

Invested in calculated gambling,

A lost cause,

Forfeiting the dirt bolstering the ground beneath his feet,

Left raw in language, resolve, and forethought,

Lured from these depths only through the power of imagination
