Informants

Informants 

Parameters Dear Watson, I exclaim to everyone at the table 
Ambassadors of the latest brand continue talking in fables 
Calipers on my legs and hands as I begin to feel disabled 
Passengers of the broken and grand reject these constant labels 

A touch of light brevity for one to leave some room to contemplate 
As such the sight of levity leaves me so much less inclined to procrastinate 
In the garden of ghetsemony Jesus was forced to deliberate 
Like a crutch to lean light up on as the enemy approaches at the gate 

There’s no time to linger for a moment as danger is on the horizon 
Relaxed and sublime she’s a performing singer that has to sleep with the lights on 
There’s not an object to be the harbinger of dispair as they choose to continue to fight on 
While in the refined and royal air I’ll be someone they can rely on 

Aberrations of polite conversation left to fizz out in the silence 
Commiserations for the invitation to engage in protest based violence 
Considerations of the elevations of such niches incline to display pretence 
Obfuscations of the invocations that require there’s no more nonsense 

Humanity crumbles at the table as I cannot continue the performance 
Insanity humbles the old fables of those basking in self-importance 
Profanity mumbles from the mouth of the green gables that come from the non conformist
Calamity grumbles as I realise I am surrounded by informants
