Faithfulness is known your ways

Good or vice, due measure you pay

Harboring justice a place to stay

You reign, yes! Our...

Sitting on the bottom, 
Water muffling what I hear. 
A lovely day in autumn 
To explore some water,

Walking here and there,
Scrounging for messages of Care,
Journalists of the day.
Standing by at door or gate
Spirited, to interrogate the great.

Fill voids with Mall time 
Plastic replete.
Feeling so fulsome; flirting with clothes
Racks upon racks upon shelves upon drawers 
Cover...

crying out in agony
I growl at the hollow

pick a sleight

plagiarize
one abundant
to survive
inhospitableness

Their glad receivers betray a 'mental slackness

Mouths appear numb..must have been struck till dumb?
