1307

PLODDING ALONG, RETICENT, WITH THE HURRICANE LAMP IN HAND

Marketing the mensch to upsell
From a prie-dieu to a barcalounger,
I was just keeping these chromosomes
In shape for the next iteration

There, tea- and rain-stained
Ersatz saturation of the moment
With pigment no sports photograph
Could insinuate personal choice

Played a role in (drama)
The reflex of a clamshell being
To carry the species wherever.
Is that an idea or an ideology,

This ferocious quietism
Is a good woman's holding pattern.
