Introspection

Resistor burnt out

I am pain’s complex companion. Oww.

Receptor receptacle brimming neurones,

Open endings, condescending contrast.

Dyed black. Tainted cup of bubbles

Potent procrastination postponement,

Poetic license, frozen intellect collect.

Siamese source, polluted water courses.

Brook by stream, mineral plunder revean

In sight, but not seen. Mystery shopper

Abacus mourning, forgotten glory story.

Embedded embellishments fantasy flew.

Tearfully locked in confinement’s gloom.

20/20 an acronym, imperfections mirror.

Traitorous intent has never become me.

Fantasy wandering, Cliff top emergency.

Loyal, quiet and solitary. Horologist. I.

Counted teeth, rattlesnake shake. Sicker

Silent ticker-tape collaborator. Massing.

Lonely mostly, normal to me seriously.

No one knocks, but cursed collectors.

Forgotten being, caught in betweenness.

Shadow avarice. Discombobulated low. Phase shift abstracted. Lost satisfaction

Transistor malfunction. Incorrect voltage

About the Creator

Paul Beckett

I’m a writer, horologist & joy filled fantasist. Reality to me is plastic. I’m fascinated with time, quantum physics, analogue and fashion.

My writings at least 69% autobiographical, often 99%
