Wild Bill Hiccups

I hic therefore ad hoc
though no one gives a dirty sock.
Respect? The young don't know they're born.
They hit the pillow and behold it's dawn.
But I must drag my ego like a ball
a swollen ball, if you must know it all,
and chain through dark's grim corridors,
through nightmares, sweats and snores.

I'm marked it seems
maybe the wild eyes, could be the beans,
outlaw bandana or as crashing bore
I shatter  interest-shards upon the floor.
So that's why I am here. Though I might spout
and mutter drear, at least I'm not thrown out.
