Pathetic

Stomach clutching

Intermittent

Despair

Muscles

Seizing, settling

In lactic acid ache

Poetry

Gushing and churning

Flowing again

Overreactions

Devaluation

Blankness

Heartsore

Over tiny infraction

Giving the lie

To the strong, cold, image

celebration

Milestones

Blurred

Obscure and unregarded

Unimportant

Price

Of staying long enough

Being around

Granted

Twice the itch

Or not

Blank is

Considerably worse
