Draw A Trait Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

DRAW A TRAIT
Cell walls melt, rob throbs' spleen,
While he dares Fate wily heirs wait.
Hell's call felt, slobs' sobs obscene.

Draw a trait desperate.
Room clean, deathbed scene. Pulse is seen
to fluctuate, moderate
accelerate, hyper-ventilate,
hyphenate with winding sheet.
Limbs gyrate, cannot coordinate,
incommunicate, degenerate.

Corpuscles circumnavigate
clot's blockage would negociate
free access to invalidate
conditions which originate
in life-style too intemperate.
Time skips fleet, misses beat.
Hell's call's felt, cells' walls melt,
etiolate what once was held inviolate,
degenerate, at a rate
which dissipation may testate
and then disintegrate.

Early, late, while he dares grate counter Fate,
telomeres can't duplicate,
thin ice skate breath's baits bate
on last date determinate.
Sweaty sheen commensurate
with symptom spate which conflate,
wan shiver rivers none can compensate
see salivation salvation rate,
herald tocsin resonate
to toxin swift disseminate.

Expectant tongues prevaricate,
surly, hate, wait, counterfeit
around intestate congregate, -
early birds worms seek, would rate
worth on earth they'd accumulate,
legitimacy confiscate,
unsurely, inconsiderate,
caucus secret susurate
arguments insubstantiate.

Angelic scene anticipate
evergreen regenerate?
pastures green apostolate
insincere appear as late
dearly departed piper pays
in maze for days of outspent days.

Duplicity seeks sound estate,
silver plate desecrate,
both debate, anticipate,
in_corpor_ate golden gate
and denigrate, invalidate,
eliminate before due date.
From wake, keen, to keen, wake, break
-up -down take some await probate
ill at ease legatees await
for probate of white haired 'late'.

Second state disconsolate
then penetrates both tissues, pate,
issues' weight eradicate feast and fête.
Vainglory's gait, can't compensate
time lost of late, or obviate
Death's sickle tickle or perpetuate
ambitions great Time must deflate.

See erstwhile spouses, ex playmate,
rise to bait, prevaricate,
at this state so desolate.
Helter-skelt sentence spelt
act done, play over, where one, once hardy, dwelt
Death's hardly seen to hesitate
as phantom fingers oscillate
like metronome to designate
foreclosure at a sub-prime rate.

Pupils dilate before they glaze,
as life debt owed at last repays.
Gauze curtains crepe, neat, drape deceit,
no repeat with case complete.
End of scene, spleen obscene,
from earthly cares emancipate,
if not as star to scintillate
at least far from intolerate.

Clean the slate...room decontaminate.

Certificate? ...

Wake celebrate celibate or profligate
dinner at eight, consume mate
then fornicate and consummate... Don't be late!
