Drilling Poem by Kevin Maroney

Cracking, cracking, something smacking,
drilling at the edges of rhyme and time,
Breaking, smashing, something lacking,
a tree befit of slime and crime.

Smoothing, drooling, something moving,
what's this something, a paradigm?
Smooching, looting, something ruling,
what's my favor, pantamime?

Schooling, newling, something cruelly,
Crafty devil snaking inside,
Snaking, making, writhing and breaking,
what's this, thing of deftly timed?

Skittering, skattering, bereft of smattering,
once again, drilling at the edges of the mind.
