El Desdichado.

“sonnet in -gry”

Finding again my haggard heart fang-hungry
after a gram of psychotic pottingry
i wonder if i can mask with wonted rungry
grin like a choice Manhattan-fetching aggry.

Helmet i patch & this time, wrap the puggry;
questioning all, i’m yet of dreams the bowgry.
Where will i go? in public or in skugry
seek out a dragon-task not over-angry?

Truly we’re hot to make the Double Ulgry
whether it’s growth-enhancing, or in malgry:
let me forget that here i glister meagry…
Everyone’s heaped like hares in a conygry!

So much have i tried to sundrily hide from vergry,
stodgeful’s this box. Bring on the higry pigry.
