here's a weird one

~ ,
~ vain argue with the muse
~ ,
~ She never flinches toward a smile
~ brazen scribe and any dare
~ a toying with her fastings
~ ,
~ At once will opt to co-reside with
~ History's Own is rearward-faced
~ the recording angel
~ can’t be coerced
~ separate from or otherwise
~ spoken in a future tense than
~ those she's clearly shown
~ ,
~ Frustrate now the scribe assays
~ slant the plumb line duly set
~ or tie the hands which bind him by
~ or thinks lesser of his muse
~ ,
~ As the somber comic draws no
~ laughter switches acts amid the
~ stare of long and silent audience
~ sidesteps known precaution where
~ judge a matter taking hold
~ by only one end
~ that other end to ensnare
~ full circle in due time
~ ,
~ Desperate scribe one last reprieve
~ too quick to swipe so lands a slap
~ searing pain throughout
~ the wrist for
~ marble measures wholly stone whose
~ eyes flash fires irrepress’
~ millennia of self-neglect
~ such the muse plus
~ History's Own
~ weep tears of glass the seal thereon
~ inkwell of the record-bears
