Fear of Clichés

 
faithless i

ought forego

bungee jumping,

even if the bridge is afire

yes, even then

since backlash

from i

lash
 
 

is sure to cause whiplash,

and that’s best case scenario.

a lemonade/lemon thing.

worst case the cord

>snaps<

and strands me

on conclusions

…

the kind of ends that

invariably make up the topography

at the base of

lover’s

leap.
