Long Docket Poems

I believe it was Alfred North Whitehead,
an early developer of cognitive systems thinking,
who observed frequent miscommunication

A shiny penny fell to the ground,
and the face of Caesar
started spinning 
ear candy propaganda around

Sparkling tales 
of a former, dark ale kingdom
Oar barrel sales
that spread liquor violence
under a rising Western horizon
