Cauterise emotion,

Leading to

Explosion.

A time bomb

Tick tick.

The anger built,

Ready to explode

Without guilt

Or restraint;

Only a faint wish

He could do better.

But once unfettered he went wild,

Like a child

Who had tasted too many sweets;

And so he walks Oxford streets,

Meets no one,

But wonders ‘why me?’

Had he been chosen,

Or just frozen

In time?
