I live as a rind
  orange, imaginary
sugar perplexed hypothetical skin
   crackled and cackling at the loss
of others;
          frostful and lacking reality
of sun

I know no other hemming but these
       indentations, (intendations)
slowly swept hair, by finger and thumb
    proudly peacocked, withered soul
strutted
on metered spacebar,
  with abundance of letters per word
misremembered, represented
 in tiny pictures of emotion

 and haw, moon rounding
into shudderform; first I saw you possible
floating in mi(d)st, out-of-place December
breath fogging up glass

tongue frozen in the go, and still
   an idea of no purchase
slowly crept along, by finger and thumb
 
to an endpoint far between two outcomes:

one look ought to be enough, but isn't
     
the shrill voice rises
 piercing the heart coldly, calculated
In which I try to understand, but admittedly not very hard

but there's underlying feel of slime, like a morally used car salesman or ambulance chasing attorney...

there is no understanding, really. I grew up there. I have learned to accept but not understand
still, there is no malice, only stupidity and hidden greed
