"Irony [is] the song of a prisoner who's come to love his cage" - David Foster Wallace


A vegetarian heart worm sprung in my chest

And clattered around with no seeming rest

Stressing my sternum and pulling my throat

And the only blunt solace would come when I wrote

With pen drawn to keyboard

I spoke to the sky

As they turned in amazement

To watch the worm turn into a butterfly
