When alone, I am often angry.
I am not alone. Not alone. No, not often. Oddly never.
Never odd or eveN. Never even and ever odd.
Don’t noD!
I am often alone. Often, I am alone and am often angry.
I am building the wheel, a rippling ring.
Dammit, I’m maD!

Questa poesia, leggermente in rima, mediante l’uso di assonanza e tre frasi palindrome, descrive l’atto dei pensieri circolari. Ogni anello di rabbia si chiude eppure continua ad allargarsi a generare nuovi anelli, l’incremento non si ferma. È cumulativo.

This poem, lightly rhymed, by the use of assonance and three palindrome phrases, describes the act of circular thoughts. Each ring of anger closes and yet continues to widen to generate new rings, the increase does not stop. It is cumulative.
