The street sign bent against an aluminum bat.
It rang out through the fall.

Woke up in a holding cell off 405.
Stumbling barefoot on Velcro laces.
Spoken in twinkled tones, over breathless moans.
Harsh is the brevity, following their levity.
Blood On The Tracks**

It spoke in rhythmic transgressions, lifted from the dotted line. It held. It fell.

Polka dots made up of tiny horizontal lines, intersecting with vertical peers.

Overindulging on the semblance of fact, just to seem like they’d grown up a bit.

Self-engrossing indoctrinations to be preached out and blown over…for the rabble it was.

“When something’s not right, it’s wrong.”

Wide-eyed on sleep craved incognizance. It had all gone on too long.

They tried to force their hand, critiquing structure through the veil of a cabaret roused in the liveliest of their rooms.

Stormy shores swept to sea lit calm as the doorframe shook.

Set for a strut, intent on curbing this freshly acquired sensationalism.

Gravity logs its presence through rain dropped conviction…a steam engine sounds off in the distance...finality.
Diseases lapped up from a rotted spoon, consumed to drown as costs balloon.

Parasitic conscription,
Amortized affliction.

Resource held ownership of any and all depiction.
Kicking at the maggots knotted into this rotted steed
Calcified in a crucible purloined out of greed.
Weight wears buxom, on concrete skin.
Held in check, but worn too thin.
Just a pose, to juxtapose
This pirouette on pointed toes
Knight drawn from patents of nobility
Forgery lines emblazon humility
Aided duties fit to pantomime
Birthed in the fake lands of Liechtenstein
