Wayfaring feet stumbling scared. quick over-the-shoulder glance
Indicts humanity. their failures obvious. innumerable.
Never clairvoyant. always microscope focused down
Deep in the wrong memories. twisted. why-me? looping endless

Is worth two Bushes separated by a Bill,
Hedonist prophets in replicate.
Archon profiteers
Distribute penance w/out salvation—bless my sins father
And I will not confess yours.
Lost sheep shorn—but only a little, little, little at a time.
Itinerate hands scrub for pennies.
Their babes swaddled in barbed wire
Then come of age in sweaty back rooms,
Licentious greed the true face of freedom.
Each doorway here frames a portrait of
Reaching-out and falling hard.
Overblown commanders—relentless, remorseless
Bulldoze our bread
Into soft landings for the already-haves while
Nearby, a speckled blue egg hatches a small avian of resplendent voice.
