they don't have a method
they have a style
it presents itself unweildy
authentic
approachable
with just a hint of
exclusive sense

you can't remove the
hope, the desire
the strength

the dustbin of history

marketing yourself
dusting yourself off
basking in the glory of
being flavour of the month

good morning have a seat
we're delighted you could make it
after careful consideration
there's no going back now
do you have any questions?

the thing is, i can't promise
anything
but let me assure you
no harm will come to any of the
applicants

minature
eyes up
downtown house
party line
drawing water
tower over
sight failing
that is

stench?
no breach, no harm, no foul
stir the ***
remove all sensory input beyond
the
trail
of
tears
