as a matter of fact
reliably
competent, soulful

who never asked
for anything other than
the facts

here comes the good stuff
you know you can't believe it
there's every need to
you haven't asked for it
it's mandatory

interview
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

shocking details

familiar but hammering home
the message
there is only one

there can never be

send me your lists
Burt Shane
Feb 2021
send me your lists
turn them on
run them out
pour it up
there's gold in them thar hills
he's chuckled, knowing he's knocked it out
of the
park
but they were less than impressed
distressed by the same stanzas
percolating within the
diary of a
faded gadfly
never to
recover
earlier
victories
you can have it all
sighing
signposted

serious injuries
please look away
until told to do otherwise
the assessment
will be made
in a timely fashion
there cannot be
interference
we thank you for your interest
you'll hear in due time
do you hear the object
smashing against the
shore?

sprawl
walk with me
talk with me
you've been a great disappointment
but when opportunity knocks
you gotta answer
amirite?
sure
you've got what we want
and the answer is clear
you simply need
to roll over
and play dead
ok
your legacy
will
endure

stumble upon
Burt Shane
Mar 2021
stumble upon
the reach, the rest
turmoil
preen, turn, backwards glance
glancing blow
they haven't returned your call
turning keys
locking doors
interminable disrespect
a peerage

they don't
Burt Shane
Feb 2021
they don't
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
