Blackened Soles Along Stormy Shores

A hundred years and a snail
Stealthy sweat glistening from the sun
Blackened soles can never fail.

Wavered by golf-sized hail
Nevermind, what's done is done.
A hundred years and a snail.

Forgotten plunder -- wetted trail
Diluted mercury dreams run
Blackened soles can never fail.

Bludgeoned bloody purple pale
Frenzied sputtering pent-up fun
A hundred years and a snail.

Trembling raging liquefied gale
Rat-a-tat-tat sub-machine gun
Blackened soles can never fail.

Spongy stilted westerly wail
Cradled dejection --won by one
A hundred years and a snail
Blackened soles can never fail.
