The molasses

The molasses curious
men bent cleanly
a walk
requiring eyes closed
left no room
for reason

Again two cats hissed
scuffled
no distance
only answering
that same
old question

A monkey wrote
a monkey lie
truer than
no others
hated
savior

Words broke
the calm
the calm
the calm
poisoned
by man ½

Two men waited
5 times 1000
knowledge
no curse?
Screamed!
agony remembered

Man closed
his left
the right
bitten silent
hope of opposites
grappled eternal
