A bulldog trait, distinct bugaboo imp,
(as in obsessive compulsive disorder...)
this is the difficulty of letting go,
as in rumination, running those tapes
in mind’s eye,
a floodlight of sturdy cause
stampeding like a herd to tramp on ease
or delay festivity for grimmer duty.
It is declaring vise-jaw grip,
holding the scrap of red meat
amid swords and weighty plowshares,
shaking frenetic, unsettling calm.
It is a grasp of headstrong habit,
a movie demanding law school outline,
cement trucks rutting gray matter mass.
(And herein lies the disproportional
obsessive compulsion, in deep matter
of the mind, within convoluted organ
called brain, heavy wheels press skull-
enclosed lecithin flesh, making pleasure
tracks--for it is pleasure in a masochistic
way--allowing bulldog to hold on tight,
to clench with incisors, exerting pressure
and passion as if a traveling religion.)
