an Abecedarian for the record. it is what it is

okay kids, the Poetry Pentathlon is approaching fast, and as an exercise, I try to write for any of the events that I am unfamiliar or unskilled at.  I have done a few Abecedarians in the past but none that I really liked.  I hope the contestants find better X and Z word than I did.

so... here it is.

fighting the cynical overtones:an abecedarian

All I can do is

Breathe

Count to ten and

Decide not to destroy the world

Enforcing this ritual

Focuses my energy

Given my nature

Harnessing my negative

Intentions is a

Jury rigged solution at best

Keeping control

Likens me to a werewolf

Maybe it's irrelevant

Nobody really knows

Or cares

Perhaps in the the future this

Quandary will have more

Relevance or impact or 
Something

Thinking has become passe

Under unreasonable circumstances

Varying only slightly for media fuel

Whatever

X-rays are clean one minute

Zap...the next you're dead
