Mercurial Days

Those fervent bonds of educated altruism Attack a hard wrought seedy worldview Payers and givers in all stripes of sedition Plunge ahead in the dark mysterium of societal agency Where flooded stations of trashy neglect Barter like intestines for the choice to move about Juxtaposed against hidden nature with stable roots The mind's golden radar gets launched on porous descent Imagining other in a new style of fool proof desire While organizations frame truant relation For the award of resident and possibly membership But just as banal as ever, the idle poison of mercurial days

A very good deep write not helped by the double-spacing which makes the concepts feel disjoint. Light & Love
