Continuations CVI:
a song sung only
a particular one of many
there upon a platform shoed
into this or that argument toward
a future fair yield yet not a
bene fit for one intended ear
nebulous fit desire and plan
shored up in twinned form
intrinsic truncated
gesture arduous the spun
throngs dis-mature themselves
(un)prompted by the platform
the sprung thongs manifest a jest
sure to alert (or alter)
imagination s ought out
thinking / caught out
cutting cornered concern
s having loss to lose
out of concern one speaks
of piques ad valorem
with or sans imagination
sure of self and little
else(wise) cornering
loss by way of fest
or vest all covered a breast
of new developments
or so some they will say
will sway a crowd of
daffy fellows fools
for a siren s(tr)ong
restive flexing veils un-mellow
strays to daft pursuits
risen through rungs
sprung over a view of
om as withered
in common psyche
incommunicado or psyched to hide
till a chants encounter lead
s to peddled prevarications
holding dominion over minds but part
way mended (that s melded
welded to some dream of power
enhancements peddled hold
just as the heart lets go
the mind full of itself
a chance blanches the minions
following behind
where they (be)long still blindly striving
a snowfall of white papers thrown
out (down) unread / deliberate
refusal chancy choice quotes
rations torn out worn out
verses curses only
against the chosen other
use(d) worn cursed
gain at the height of
professional quotas
of crumbs reached for
ahead of others averse
to sharing what is owned
what is known is only what is owned
not up to no good
can come of these against those
all for not no knotty
conundrums beating
heartland lacking the beginning
statistics class negates the improbable
instance of no goodness of fit
knots obstacular in their
way weigh in
to win attention beating albeit unjustly
would appear to simplify
too simple fie a fig for a gig
a bite off the oldest apple
pie or po faced fused
and fueled on an anger so unfocused it
can no more know less
than the nothing sparking fire (storms
strange storms split trees
light shrills the sky fuel
the app versus the apple
champion focusing on
fire ire choirlets
spat sing skat lines to opine
too fine lie cut or slashed
as trees houses even board
rooms roam in wind black and
blown a blue(s) air
Aeolian harpies scare
quotes ever lower
lashing out versus moaning
yields unreasonable filler in
the empties rife with
flash floods of losing streaks
blown through
yards psyches dis-owned
the empirical spike back off
fractal officiousness
too many partitions
behind which watch what
faked management
systems (of a) downturn
a précis amounts to fractional
fakeage systematic as watchdogs
bleat their officious little
marks in sound space too many
creatures of habit
turn down the struck empire (waste
management) stuck in empirical
space spectaculars
too much hair raising the anti
rousing the antebellum bellows
is that another gun
in your prance or
tentacles screech toward
gunfire as if
rancid spirits had caught
fire a hair’s breadth
be/longing to an other
anti-everything
laying about with all arms or
is that flailing failing the test
y money lords their refusal
a retort unseemly to reason
or enabled doubt of moral high
ground beneath their boots
lately frailness leaves
the shell of a report
the season discards neither knives
nor dirt nor fire
morale sinks unable to self
buoy money’s residue smudges all hands
a kind of char dust
that broom a clean
sweep stakes too high for
life to stay a sentence
writ on water thought
heroics lost in mist
rusted takes return the hero
to a perch from which
a clean break stays
in focus for the many
who rely upon the legendary
as a reason to sleep
in that darkness thereof one
speaks not each night
mare more wave than particular
drowned bookie all bets off
in memoirs penned in absolutes
black on white alert mess
noir might not protect
alertness stiff beyond the threat
of light shrill to see(k)ing
the specific place apart from
recollection rendered
in code that sleeves distinction
slaves distraction a default faulty
to the last (lie as breath
shoehorned subordination
subjects always (al)ready objects
in that ever smaller rear view
mirror of souls long vacated
ordinal data makes meaning of
the up and down the subject
of the sentence(d) diminishes
in view until writhing turns
to others last in lineage
shoved into dwindling place
left empty soon if powers
off put out beyond the
event horizon an air
less space less exploration less
experimentation that reach
for a future reason would construct
reason’s emptied of event
the less space the more power
concentrated into
freedom of reach as prowess
tall mid-air experiments meanwhile
prevail constructively through seasons
a turn and turn again but with
or against the clock a rock
shadow tossed bossed
buffed as if pomade could
provide a halo so bright
it hides the lack of thought beneath
riptide splinters halo primed
to seem intact revokes
inline online fin-lined
lockdown ritually
turned against itself twelve or more
embossed containers of valence
