Last Call

Life! What approbations to recall? A solace that never was – Utopia Should such love get forgiveness? The seminal seeds of such a cast… Claims of the spurious narcissistic Ah! Words, rescind not a sarcoma lying brashly, filling its poison vial long swallowed - bona fide denial! (1/10/2021) Nearing their curtain’s final fall, they fly as the geese and monarchs; to warmth they hie To hobble where once trees stood: golf courses, smoothed for their lazy electric horses… Chilled hearts and aching bones pay for the sun Fenced off for their guarded and landscaped fun For barely a stone-throw away, poor shakes, Ripple the divide, hazing man-made lakes… There they sweat through long sartorial jokes fearing beams may strike a cancerous stroke Whites and pastels their preferred uniform Clearly labeled for their clubs’ garish norm… Cloistered, they are already neatly packed Boxed close for flames: coffins securely-stacked.
