Aversion and Fear

AVERSION & FEAR
by Scott Michael Winchell

I think you think what I think you think about me

And I’ve finally outlived the usefulness

Of this endless passion play

Your scathing inability
To show any sort of equanimity

Breaks me from the leash
Cutting, bleeding into my neck

Stretching everything,
Everything I have been taught

This degree is bent,
Outdone by the clarity of now
