"Blender"

Restless words, a thought absurd, existential pain, life's relentless refrain,
Coming and going, and learning, and throwing, and living, and dying, again
Communication with liars, throwing water on fires, seething mad,
Yet consistent with life's early whiles
I can't get a handle hold, strike through and bandy, bold
Sift through all folders of life's myriad files
Course crass consistency, live fast with confusion, see
Beauty collated with kitsch on life's large, burly piles.

Listless moments, mind numbing torment, say it again, life's relentless refrain,
Up, down, and over, friends, acquaintences, lovers
Washing with vigor, yet naught removes slighted stain
Communication with nymphs, angels, whores, and pimps
Grasp at irretrieveable ecstasy, and laugh at the pain
Get up in the morning, going out without warning, tornadoes and storms,
No storm warnings this time
And there's time to rest easy, breathe deep, and less queasy,
Life will settle and soothe, life's cacophany shalt rhyme
