prevails to be united part and parcel
of (ups and downs)
constituting human rat race
swallowed up within the vast cosmos
as an infinitesimal speck
amidst the chaotic

barely contemplating veritable insignificance,
nevertheless trumpets his daily rag exclusively

hinting at approach of poetic storm
and true to form
yours truly id est - me doth not conform. 

Though the sky

Bean and tea sip were infatuated with key word shrouds that had this helter skelter of gargantuan scope entanglement  with their seemingly simple whet for the simple things and what ensued.
