    It's not beautiful,
    Like it should be
    It's not kind, or considerate
    Or bright
    Or happy.
    An unopened door,
    Crevice;
    Venting all distilling distractions,
    Josling,
    And smelling all the smells that
    shouldn't be smellt.
    It relishes in this:
    The fact that it's breathing
    and crawling.
    Oh, it is unnecesary,
    that, oh, it is.
    Oh how avoidable,
    how avoidable -
    But cruxed,
    It should be a crime
    But it crawls,
    it crawls
    And crawls
    And crawls.

    Walking is reserved for those with walking sticks
    We like to watch it crawl,
    We understand,
    because we feel our skin crawl
    when we watch it crawl.
    We crooked the stick
    it could have craved -
    caved it in,
    to let us see it crawl,
    and crawl,
    and make us think that we remember what
    it was to crawl.

    I was with you until the end of the sixth line and then I don't know where the hell I went. I might charge you with poetical homicide.
