reducing the marching evolution of nurturing feminist matriarchs
to another whine,
too gooey,
shrill and screechy,
nagging nanny stroll away from True Patriarchal White Male empowerment.

Never minding Mother's ecological...

Baseless incriminations heaped upon head of missus...
courtesy evil ferocious wraithlike grimace

Acrimonious scurrilous words
flew out the mouth
of vicious nasty shortish brute

of stolen parcels
plus ransacked jewelry
totaling to the tune

Is one to remember what remains no more a memory?
An afterlife beyond eternal damnation, forgotten entirely
In my mind, burns a question of which beheld no answers
And staring off to the distance, I’m to simply wait...

The idea of a living constitution
has the same forensic indeterminacy

the virtual microbe mushrooming variables

Built by the swiftness of my might?

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, 
Yet no sound is dispatched
These guilty grazers are all culprits,
As my voice has been snatched,
It’s as if my neck has been tightly draped
By a never-ending string
Suffocation is...

Or like a fresh wave of words

Times only you could help me through
Reasons unexplained; you gave no aid to me
