while yesterday's writ was wont to say
I wish today's words were sweet and gay
I'm malingering in death's cold grip
Seeking solace from the opposer's lip
Tis unfortunate e'er I precede my thresh
With wandering mind and fickle flesh
Sucked into bounteous neurotransmitters flailing adrift

That is quite the contest and winner takes all? A verse of rhyme that fits and carries one into the fight.
Okay, that was rather a tongue-twister, and left me scrambling to catch up despite its brevity. Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a haunting poignancy. I love it! Thank you very much for sharing.
