Akin to a journalist (hoofing
NOT huffing on the beat)

when questing without sparking browbeat
upon my person, or worse...proceeding toward

Is to do it through the power of the state

It is What it is – weasel words for our times

We live in an age 
Of the weasel words
Orwellian thought police run amuk

Let us go to certain half-desserted restaurant

In this place

that does hold

Warm comforting

peace and serenity.

A time does arrive
