Paranoid Following a line of thought, Jumping to conclusions, Secret plans of sabotage with malice and collusions. Deep cabals of torment Entwine the fractured mind, Splitting logic structures of sequence and of time. A harmless cough becomes a slant. "Um-Hum" betrays deceit. Suspicions become certainty, decisions rise to meet. Conviction spawns the actions that remorse won't justify. For ownership of end result must shirk or flat deny. But how are notions nurtured That have no mass or weight? Momentum's apparatus most surely creates fate. © Sean G. O'Leary 2020
