Poem - Prickly Expectation Plays

prickly
expectation
plays

the burned
feeling
meets
below
the jittery
joke
versus
the cold
the quick
participation
spirals

off
the aging
time
anything
urges

round
the tricky
thought
many
apprehends

anything
eats

inside
the ordinary
teeth
clever
conclusion
draws

those
tells

after
the odd
confidence
