Court session
(language hearing):
Bleary eyed
Gavel, fist, tearing
Pressure cook, sunk air
Wind fearing
Valleys
Ass-fixing nation
The lungs’ gesticulation
Manifestation, break-beating hatred;
Complacent arrangement favors
Deposit nepotism wafers
For the body of work
Saviors
Dustin’ ‘em off in a pool of
Lava album covers
(sundered armor spoke in tones of
Melodic Sally Struthers)
Tuned to seventh fret harmonics
(watch the wobble)
Half-step to novel
More flat for verse of verbs walking
On cobble
The law of some denominator over a numerator
Called a principle by intendant’s lowest
Prayer—
Clasped the book by the tree rings
Extracted sound blown from earth
To glass ceilings to break
The fourth wall’s
Feelings
(as a series of sentiments
Capitalism airs its vents
Private gills, births still)
The lobby past the precedence
Adjourned evidence
Post-breath
Quotas before shrinkage of cyclical sky crest;
Monthly per diem
Reflected star guidance
In wholly night meetings
Spoken above the local sirens
Ain’t a court window
’til the plaintiff’s frightened—
State-appointed representation
Of loud silence
(check)
Quietude the most honest dude ever met
No debt to that sole set
Bet
