The difference in personal performance and persistence - merit and cadence - a poem.
Dissolution reigns supreme
Among those adjuncts
Of mischief -
Solitary manhandling consoles
The modern aristocracy;
Vipers and pythons befall
The reverberating jungles of merit -
Woeful stalactites hover
Above juicy ice caves,
Slowly melting drips disappearing,
Meeting their happenstance
In sheer, jet lagged abundance.
And the maximum fortitude
Goes on ubiquitous arrays
Of heartfelt confidence.
Shoulder to hip, we flutter blithely
Among the shrews of branches
Elicited by vague
And haughty exasperations…

The antithesis of trust
Is modesty toward
The goal of proximity…
In true alliances
With outstanding talent levels. 
The surmise of countless iterations,
Befitting of clout and ferocity,
In total harmony
With precipitous and meaningful outliers.
