The Lump
By Ossy Gobbiner
- 380 reads
He exists within this tedious space of nicotine saturated woodchip
Year after Year he watched the crumbling paint spin
Drunken flakes within the cobwebbed smeared shadowed corners
Trebus like structures intended to comfort him
The stench of stale beer tainted idleness discharges musty
Freed from the back of the Lumps mucus infected hole
This place the Lump once called home
Soon to stand silent witness to the Lumps valueless soul
His obscene enormity now hangs limp
It spills greasy beyond the weary conjoined chair
Free will forced this life of Indulgence upon him
A worthless journey the Lump lived life without a care
He pointlessly measured the passage of time
By the festering mounds of twisted crippled mildewed tin
Life would never have made sense to this so called man
Do not pity him, do not mourn as the reaper drags him in
This lump, this inflammation, this decaying dishevelled feckless man
Fleeting dreams have now been finally, rightfully denied
His life “LIVED” a urine soaked floorboard from once it began
This House, This House, This Cold and Lonely House
He Cries out as his final thrusting gasp sends the Lumps soul
Uncontested to its deserved, forsaken abyss.
