mark singer Poet Free verse

the gift of theft

Eight 
hundred 
indie 
fringe godfath-
ers stole thunder from 
forty frayed dandies who thought they 

were today's trendy 
answer to 
tonight's tiny fright-
ened finger 
toads but in fact were 

only dreadnought friends 
of the hidden thrifty fudge in-
ferred from a rougher runty third 

of the grounded ruddy roundheads 
remaining defi-
ant 'til notified not to 
be 

         and 
to return to fraught infight-
ing at their always 
          well funded freehand orgies.
