Thanks for the inspiration, here is the result:

A clever assembly of words
Gathered in resistance
Strategically placed
To guard the heart
Because this heart is bitter
Sour like Aesop’s grapes
Shaped from experience
Living on the accrued interest
Of deceit and wishful thinking
Renouncing all authority
I can only echo
Another man’s disclaimer

The evening sounds are synonymous
Identical, interchangeable
A mobius noise that transfigures drone
And disfigures serenity
This is not the time for questions or requests
To go ignored or unanswered
Chasing cats with imaginary brooms
While cobwebs clutter
The most secretive sections of thought
Those linked to action
Lost in name
Exhaled in a puff of smoke
Waved by a meticulous wand
Summoned to supper
To dine on beads of sweat
Pregnant droplets
That spill like beans
Stalking the small of your back
Or lurking around the brow
If it added up
It would be the sum
Of all things
That amounts to nothing
A whisper in a deaf man’s ear

Love the ending
