Like clockwork...
An assortment of stored-up slights,
Both actual and imagined.
Anticipated catastrophes
with varying degrees
of probability;
Thwarted ambitions,
Alternative life courses,
And the mundane challenges of
The never-ending, everyday to-do list.
These, and a host of other demons,
Each one unremarkable, but
Together a dark legion,
Have once again,
Pitched camp,
With no nearby
Herd of swine available
As an alternative host, or a
Clifftop plunge to commend to them.
