Virtue fertilized

When master mistresses afford the rejection
Of letting you know bout the final injection
Scrolled on a display of snapshot decisions
Fast you are still

Familiar you were
And yet no surprise
Dummy-housed plunder
Only before sunrise

After the call
No restriction at this place
fenced from calamity
Anxiety and face of hate

The somehow never questioned
What-is-it-then?
Why are they staring
When drills open up the brain

Of pop whores,
Apathic and phrenetic believers,
Medi-acre outsorced
Excentered conceivers

Angling and bangbangling
Melt flights to the sun
Lift-off sans feature
Sweaty on the run

Another call
Back
For and from
Struggling legs and tongues

After the daily dose
That simulates
Chosen ones

Fall and deception

Committance


A web and some lines
Passing through

Full of sound
and fury

Signifying nothing

But kicking
With each rise and crash

Silence
Stilled
In merging
Buffers of noise
