"Despite the fight of intellect
instinct will rule."
Exasperation reigns
When body & mind cannot agree
mind screams epithets,
annoyed by body's delusions
Just when a truce seems to appear
some cruel diversion
darts in the way
scattering concentration to 4 corners
finally the white flag
resignation by the wrong party
who...
then triumphs
of course, murphy turns the tables again
and the war rages on
for another annoyance
