Logophobia

Spiral surface stripped of sensation,
Clean white exterior inside and out,
Life swirls about all creation,
A depressing ulterior route.

Ratty chunks of foolishness,
Carbon-sodium wrought to amalgam,
We fail all sorts of tests,
It's because of the rum.

Throw out all my change,
I can't even afford the token,
I'll try to be happy, if strange,
But my hedonic treadmill is broken.
