This incoherence
Ostensibly
Somehow resemblant
Appearance
To cogent conveyance
Of strictest adherence
To norms and conventions
Of formally writing
But radically
Back to the roots
I’m reciting

The polls
And the podium
Punditry  
Funding spree
Populist
Pageantry
Palace
Of luxury
Muse to my drudgery
Fuse to my thuggery
Drug to the content
Creator’s
Skullduggery
Masterfully dealt
To a Democrat base
And to Bible Belt’s tightening
Heavenly laced
With an ******
Mass appeal
Classes dismissed
For the brass taxes
Cut with
The sinfully rich

Abandonment issues
Don’t cut it this time
If I lose you
That’s it for me
End of the line
So I want you to stay
Want us both to feel safe
In the longing for always
The other’s embrace
Not just pitched
In an argument
Soon to forget
Soon enough
We’re conflating
It all as a threat
To respect
To the debt
That we owe
To the photos
To memories
Fade to pain
Only
Alone knows

So proud to be American
Forget
Humanitarian
That neighbors
Might be strangers
Rearranging
Their vivarium
That we are all
Just prisoners
Within the planetarium
As free to be
Convicted
By a jury of our peers
As we are to form convictions
From a 30 rack of beers

Live for the moments
When even unspoken
In love
Can be broken
Wholeheartedly open
And peering deep into
The festering wounds
As you kindly
But blindly
Bind them
And refuse
More immediate
Medical help
Convalescence
Forgive instead
Live for the moment
Transgressions

You people
Are crafty
Got deals
To attract me
Entrap
Not exactly
I’ll hear you out
Gladly
But sadly
Not buying
A stay here today
Million ways
You can say
Don’t delay
Getaway
That my family
My time
Is most precious in life
Overestimate
What I would do
For my wife
But if dollars
And cents
Don’t add up
In equations
I’m sorry
I don’t in fact
Need a vacation
