My anger rends the plum'd quill
asunder the salesman's softened hand.

It's wrath rea(de)ranges well veined,
symmetrical warmth, transmog(hor)rifying
to cold claws of steely, stainless danger
a la Freddie Krueger or the (less than)
comic hero Wolverine,

or curls of primordial fistic clubs
punching through clouds as meteors

whose stomping, searing stamp
leaves swelling holes in ice floes.

Fury, so bellyed, subterranean,
mani(c)fests a surface whose smile

becomes a slit and laugh lines parallel
deceitfully, serene and straight,

completely fooling seismic graphs which
won't suspect the Himalayic rise and fall

or Hiroshimic underlying volcano it's racing
rage, it's undetermined path.

A brain which clouds itself and darkens,
blindingly in swirling ominousness

blackening to tunneled vision and
short circuited by lightning blitzes

all the while contained in the being
of a man who walks among you

looking all the time
no different than the rest.

One never knows what lies behind the normality of the outward appearance...in the everyday people that you meet, simply walking down the street. We are all human, with capabilities that often we don't care to admit. This is very insightful. Food for thought.

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!
