Jetsam flotsam (2020)

  


The world's a thousand tongues long, 

kneedeepthick.


Memory sings a river of history

                   tossing our bubbles

Along the horizon until we balance,


or steam Hits 

the cold autumn encompassing,


Until the newest bestests shirk and shun

The signals creasing evening


Into origami feigning ministers 

and heads of state


We ratify and adhere to the codes of barbarism inscribed

On our ignoble gene troughs


When we deign to dabble 

in esoteric spasms



Of maudlin mod art, glory swine at the fair

As shallow as a ring toss game


As blank and callused 

as the ferris man's lever thumb


Hijack your self 


one liberty every foot a day,

Buddy can you spare a crime?


Mine is mint condition, 

said sabertoothsoothsayer,

Warble on, weary flotsam 





Flb 2020
