Jagged Jaws of Smelted Steel Not the Title:

This poet decided against  
becoming a measly minced meaty morsel

undetected inauspicious augury 
     assigning  adept 
     aqueous ace AOL amphibian, 
     who surreptitiously crept

to the secret crypt (guarded by 
     foo fighters and amazing dragons) 
     said gendarmes did except
special fluid scrip as egress into 
     heavily fortified 
     (with USDA recommended allowance),

thus when the configurative motley crue
including thyself (a bono fied doo
bee brother - long given up for lost, 
     which "FAKE" oracle 

     misinterpreted by a goo goo
doll, and cross dresser named Hugh
played being took a vow el, 
     and hence consonantly knew
    
all along, i dwelt peacefully 
     in a soundcloud loo
immensely spacious with ooh
dills of survival trappings 

     purchased from  Peru
laborers treated by free pact 
     guaranteeing a socially 
     conscious shopper to rue

painstaking indigenous stoop labor, 
     now stamped imprimatur could allow, 
     enable and provide means to shoe
each formerly eczema dappled, 

     cracked bare foot
     ah, a glimmer of hopefulness 
     (upon this crowded house of a planet) view
which youtube snapchat ting 

     reddit as joyous outlook 
     sans linkedin shutterfly, 
     twitter ring tender flickr ring shoots 
     communicated an instagram message 
     of hopefulness kickstarting optimism

versus the initial thread of this poem, 
which to set this got off track
     (hinting at goal to be 
     a paperback book writer wannabe)
rather than ending up as a byte size snack 

     for a limbering beast, into whose tumblr
of one jagged razor sharp teeth 
     like daggers lined up along a rack
     of reinforced steel maw, 

     which bang for the bite did pack
leaves no room for bing a survivor 
     as fierce jaws clamp down 
     worse than getting steam rolled by a mack

truck, but subjected to thee yield, 
     whence thousands of pounds 
     per square inch of pressure  
     on par lambasted from Donald Trump flack.
