Superfluous Twists

She really had him going
back then ..
In a matter of moments,
he was
threaded on a measured
length of thin
discoloured paupers twine
along with
all the others, doubled up,
and last seen
clutching at silly straws ..
He then became
a pretty but nevertheless,
well drowned
laughing stock and clown ..
In fact, so very
much so, he never did sit
on a fence again ..
Some called it a very steep
learning curve ..
While others, made such
casual but
caustic remarks about far
too numerous
consequences and all of
those negative
repercussions associated
with his swift
falling from favour like that ..
But then,
shit always tends to happen
doesn’t it, on
the back of superfluous twists ..
