Analysis of EnduranceContest



Endurance Contest
Swirling, twirling, adoringly exalted enduring,
    lost in various virtual vortexes of splintered space, tortured  time,
        simple stars have gratefully gone deeply dark miss the mark,
            as the reaper belatedly becomes a crawling creeper.

Wormholes wander leading off yammer yonder,
    so many things to prudently ponder,
        as simplistic centaurs sally forth
            taking the thoughtless, thematic,

wishing the white Watusi was warned,
    think thrown themes enthrall,
        dubiously drawn directions dissected and determined,
            wash wicked warmth way wayward worn,

sopping sips simply from sumps sucked,
    kibosh quickly killed quantify the quintessence,
        of basically bleeding bodacious bodies in raunchy rhyme,
            takes the tumultuously torn fraught with thyme.
Be sure to google parts you don't understand to define, included, koans and deep spiritual meanings
