Narcissistic misery


flowing from my pen,
inky music accords
honour to my thoughts,
consisting of
narcissistic misery
with hardly any words.
chronicle of catastrophe
mingles with the blood of
my prosody.

    Narcissistic misery is what school teachers get when they stubbornly refuse to behave themselves.
