a kindest gesture
above all others 
received gratefully 
was to be shown the door
leaving behind a pillared 
image of affection; 
gloved, pugilistic,
guarded stance
holding no sacred
ground -impugned
zero rated disuse;
here it all unravels:
of what benefit is
this grossly overpriced
monstrosity of a car
or these now stained 
designer threads
had you cared less
we’d end up here
now or down that
discernible path;
here, perhaps these 
pilloried pinings
shall gnaw giddily
contemptuous 
over every single
moment of life's 
winding journey
still waiting ahead
