The fuse so lengthy, smolders so long.
transgressions sizzling so slowly they feign fizzling
Thrillseekers dismissing danger delayed as detonation disabled
Powder percolating under pressure,
finally finished, fizzling fuse finds powder, explodes

Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.
Intertextuality is my passion.
Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.
