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
