Studied at the altar
Of the most recent masters
King of the concept
Great white disaster
Post proofreader’s marks
On a lineside six-sheet
Scrying my severance
Psychic graffiti
The imbecile bang of the lifts up and down
The aircon hum, thick enough to drown
I was the best that could be had
Now I’m just another horse gone bad
Set stationary in sigils
Afford some protection
My aura was once adored
By all who bathed in her benediction
Eraser dust here
Calculator just so
An arcane spray of hex
A single drop of Pedro X
Tiger pacing his cage
Stripped of professional standing
They sat me in the anteroom
To wait for my defanging
Try not to think about it too much
I mean what’s the use in the end?
There’s still a piece of me left in here
Isn’t there?
Fade into my throne
Blurred with Merlot
No longer a pro
On my last commute home
