One Ovation Standing

Time's gears move trickling
At the speed of sound,
Jotting verbs and urges
To make it sexy selling
Souls for fat drunken minutes
Draping rustic yeas and nays
To the critic, it's his job, you know.
Guys waiting, in line with their own, 
To catch a glimpse and rote autograph
Signed 231 times today,
Stand and be worshipped, 
Exiled author, 
Tear down that wall,
Sweat the sweat of the sweet
Sweet sinner. 
Crowned immaculate,  and hung out to dry,
Beloved, curtsy god-given, and
Pull tight a freedom flag.
