Halfway Begins The Your Exit

Malt flirts with the glass lip’s rim
Indulged to sink, yet I swim

Bald static rings in ears
Water to wine, fermentation to tears

Corona flickers beyond the vast
Shade the novel, rest a last

Sans effort, ease never begot
Out from in, reaction is not

Flesh catatonic, hardened shell
Id’s ego softens, heaven is hell?

Long for the still, relieved, appeased
Ill is the will, too thick to breathe

Loathe rational, betta brain
Synapse opposed, darkness’s wain

Stable the steed, seize the spokes
A journey for one, kin to inutero growth

Alpha step demands greatest of joules
Single gate separates, the freed from the fools

Unchained or ignorant in search of bliss?
All the way in, fore half is to exit the mist
