Highly Strung Poem by Derek ThomasRymer

Highly Strung



I recognised two familiar clowns.
She said to me:
The problem is, he's over strung.
I thought of
an empty sphere

a close-woven hysteric
puffed up with flatulence
a strung-out mess of split ends
and randon gaps.

Dismissive, I said:
I can't help you I'm afraid
no-one could, you've got yourself
a boredom generator.

He just sat there
empty as an egotist's compliment.
