A crushed light ignored the barrens warped, The portrait stretched its walled character, Gambler garments malice of shown marked, Wakes a loose parley of losers barked, Drawn drank sense, of the disparager, The darkened questioned, shaped silhouettes, Of obscurities merit its due, Glares moves a heap of token assets, A lengthened armed shallowed some regrets, Facedown with cards, the table knew, Pictured paints like an artful dodger, The enclosed grows taller than itself, Outranked and owned outspoken codger, Last-minute cribbed the homey lodger, Marmalade sweetens right off the shelf, A day begets a dawning nightfall, The narrowed light cast a long shadow, All turned their backs against the stonewall, Except for the vague, zoned off-the-wall, The latent unperturbed sort, John Doe.
