Ink-Blot Testing.

Cold Day.

Awaiting—  A Clear Picture.

Hesitation, Anticipation,
Thoughts of Damnation And Reprobation
Dilute any Relaxation;

which it should.

because if Promiscuity
wasn't fused into Society
as a Normality

this Problem wouldn't be a Problem.

but it is— and we all partake from the forbidden fruit
but this is my Judgment Day, for me to await
 
and answer the question of modern-day Leprosies

as I sit,
 
Vacant, Crying spiritual Tears,
hoping society's Fears,
won't deem me one of the plagues wrenching
my generation's gears— and give me a positive response

giving way to spend each remaining day
in the midst of a gradual decay
 
so my head's all Confused and
Damnation and Reprobation
Diluting any Relaxation
which it should.

because if Promiscuity
wasn't fused into Society
as a Normality

this Problem wouldn't be a Problem.
