Slick cynic is sick pessimist
who dons diverse disguises
to mask fact acts show often missed
life’s bus, spite ironises
with spontaneity dismissed,
regrets unplanned surprises.
Part sadist and part masochist
what takes envy's eye is
marked, learned, digested, spat or pissed,
as jealous anger rises,
for there's a rigid well schooled list
with which spleen sympathizes.
Note: short this list and HIS 'es ist'
with ONE it empathizes,
the rest ground grist for tightened fist
to all peeve emphasizes.
All's tried, hung quartered peeves insist
at Quarter Day Assizes.
If by Miss Take pursed lips are kissed
repugnance realizes
that come what may see ego twist
in crisis analyses
if more, or less needs, solipsist
through others self despises.
What pierces through sad self-made mist?
The mirror that brat buys is
no consolation, as a cyst
internal ill divises,
a superficial moralist
with sighs of many sizes.
