great fragile hopes

clearly wrong & really left
ride straight on murky dawn;
cases and causes in suits bereft
of heft pauses to indulge in yawn

national committee lingers members
finger memories deleted,
replete in fiscal sheets reduced to embers.
if not for sweat equity, they'd never competed

to do economics, voodoo requires the pin
encrypted by backdoor spies mostly five eyed,
above board but not above sin
protected by redacted deeds unowned and unofficially tried

hour waste or my lai, bombastic tastes
crush gently great fragile hopes debased

haystack 143

if you catch that pony or disease
turn flank to moi, 

play some oui cappella heart. 

as a shady housecat 

toys with fervent babes, 

chasing all uneaten forms
that meep under laundry heaps, 

blowing off fire alarms
while whistling dixie 

 via nuremburg, 

let our hashtag smoke kisses 

     so  

I durst burst as autumn hay
     to feed yea..

.. no'mo neigh
