Old milk
Stagnates inside
Curdling in
The recesses of the mind
It forms soggy clumps
That swell with green mould
Putrid fluids oozing
In every fold
The brain becomes clogged
With this festering mess
As envy and jealousy
Transform into bitterness
Slowly the mind
Turns into a gloop
As the head sloshes
With this fetid soup
