**The Forth Wheel, The Last Meal**

**Each day passing by in a wild-eyed dash

In truth my soul fell aside, but bluer birds still doth call

Missed that cardinal harken when I set down my last two cents

Kickers of tricks, scroll-ers of myth, bottlers of ships

Knew it all along, just couldn’t stiff the rest

Refuse to capitol, refuge atop the pious politic that steeps these hills

Is it not hard to tell? The meanings of what buys in bulk

The people is we, of what sells slicker than plot itself

A minority rule, hid reasons from majority fooled

 

That is working trade class, taught to chain drive

The gleaming sheen glowing green, crowning jewel¬¬¬ is as mist and steam, fleeting as the wash of this worlds seething seas

We, the misanthrope of being, bloom in the warmth of idea

Only to recede at the water mark high of each our lives

 

Authenticity bless the distant time, costless venture to each about die, salute through another caesars’ dilated eye a definition

Eons in annunciation; immortality flashing by

Reverence cannot lie, not long at least neathe a chipping patina

Gold leafed by the hand of man, coerced creations’ fondling finger tips strips thin, leaving us then to watch the weathering

 

Not a one may ever remember for too quickly or too timely

Arrives dismemberment, a cyclic certainty, often relegated falsely

As loss or gain, truly misspoken frames for reference

At any given attempt to render the language of tongues, oh speaker the son of the morning shamelessly ****** by predecessors increasingly lavish

 

Phonemic savage; life running rabid, splicing love over the atom

The simple one whom tends a patch of what he calls “cabbage”

Knowing always the wordless truth that is his field fallowing

Unconvinced by everyone, save himself if nothing else

Penitent candor dangle, frameless wonder can you hear the thunder?**
