What Lurks in The Unexpected

What Lurks in The Unexpected

written by: Eric Shelman

 

What lurks in the unexpected
but murks within uh-huh expected
unimaginable, unreasonable, unthinkable
uncooperative, unpredictable, unprotected
unknowns, uncertainties, uncorrected

mischievous, micro, macro monsters
mishaps misrepresented
devious, dastardly, decisions defective
obliviously, outrageously, obfuscations
offended
obscuring, ominous omens obstructions
objectives
mysteriously, malevolent movers making
malice maladies, misdirected

anxiously awaiting adversaries’ arrivals
and asinine actions affected
shadows, sporadically shapeshifting sizes
segmented
frantically, frustratingly, freakishly, fearfully
feverishly fretted
straining, restraining, constraining, rejected
constricting, conflicting, inflicting, infected

existing and non-existing
in the natural, and the supernatural
collected
paranormal, normal, and abnormal
dejected
religious, and superstitious, neglected
mythical, parabolical, folkloric, and telltale
complected

cultic, fabulistic, and fantastic, connected
fatalistic, pessimistic, nihilistic, and cynic
suspected
apocalyptic, demonic, and diabolic
perfected
subjected, objected, and projected
perceptively, conceptually, peripherally
detected.
