As day drew on


 As the day drew on

More the cynic 

He'd become

It was no leaf

Smiling happily 

At the tiny

hopper 

No, it was 

Guillotine 

Ready to

Lop her

head

The night

He especially 

Did dread

With the 

Turning 

Wheel of fortune

Jeopardy

Awaiting

Craven 

The cynic cycle

Landing repeatedly 

Upon bankruptcy 

Giving it back

Headless hoppers

Haunting him

Sharp leaves

Cutting

Morning longed for

The beginning anew

Perhaps this day

Making it til noon

Quietly tipping

Not waking the

Cynic sleeping

In the other

Room.
