By dint of a right in tatters
impinging on terrestrial sight
that urged me to worldly matters,

No hair out of place deliberately.
Constantly parading by your pack; 
Commendation stood tall in there, 
No questions, phraseology or rubs, 
The podium harmonised plans, 
To...

oh. dear. gawd.

another patently
meaningless
crush of stanzas, jam-packed with
adjectives and color words
straight from Roget's,
strung together in
strands of misuse and

conversations salted with unspoken jargon:
one patron withholds the dialect of fed-
up-of-my-job while his buddy barely

poem in check.  So that when read aloud
the meaning would be pivotal,...
