Last of an Endangered Breed

Prospects turn up worse than a gamble

The gruesome vocabulary

Will fill up a board of Scrabble

I can't make out my itinerary

Thro the road all runners come.

No avenue of escape from this soul Armageddon

So l cling to the brink of deliberate disaster

Gives me pause. My dirge is mastered.

I sense my exit right on course

Last of an endangered breed

I'm beleaguered by the creed

Of a nobler class.

Like I'm staring thro a frosted glass

My immediate proximity

Is nightmares to humanity.

How do I breathe?
