Collection 1: Short Stories - Rebirth (2015)

The Five Colors of Exorbitance

Derivation:

An abundance of exuberance

Gushing;

Effluxion

Of an immoral succession.

 

It starts, with Money.

Lust for sugar, the glucose of phlegm:

Candy

Caramel

Lactose for intolerants.

 

Then comes Energy.

A Great Power and Vivacity,

Spirit

And zeal

-An animated excretion-

 

All then ends, complete:

Conclusional finalization

Of all,

But still one:

Loneliness isolates you.

 

You now become fat.

No sense of purpose, for all is done;

Death and

Life are Still.

And you sit waiting for more.

 

So what happens next?

What does it mean to feel complete?

I’m broke.

I’m alone.

And so I sit on my throne.
