Radical recurrences & rancorous requests raze my daze.

I really hope this is well-received. I really hope there’s some sort of reprieve.

On the Clickity-clack Express it’s clear I’m always under duress, unless I forget.

Wax and wane until there is naught but boring pain.

Time plods along in spattered irregularities as anger and depression coalesce in confusing amalgamations.
