Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease,
I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic,

Tis then...

Be not harried by apostasy spates
Surcease ye flux of basilic imprecations
Adhibit ye ,supernal paracletes  
The pith of divinity

Erelong abate
Shun the gaffer's gammon
Arcadian maundering

Avaunt kaleidoscopic zealotry

Enjoy each of the Phases thoroughly
But never mind...

Silence
as you stare into a realm of enlightenment.

Hush
and harken to the soft hum lingering overhead.

See
the jaded green stage illuminating underneath rows of intellectual  
bodies.

Hear
the faint vocals of past artists flicker in between rows of...

the starlings roosted one by one
on grandma’s party line wire
	(like jittery black clothespins)
to bandy their gossip back and forth

By luck my slingshot found its mark.
One toppled from...
