Poems and Prose #25: Corrosion

His veins corroded
  by too many sweets,
He finds he's got
  all kinds of time to retreat,
To say he's a sinner,
  at home with the least,
That he was blind to the signs
  till his fate was unsheathed.
Now here on his hospital bed,
  he repeats
The ninety-nine hundred and nine
  ways he was fleeced.
