The Scarlet and Silver Tablecloth

line the ends
                                              the corners
                                               and posts
                                           both stood as a
                                       true endorsement for
                                      hard work and diligence
                                           one could speak to
                                            the wants of many
                                       through the selfishness
                                             of these people
                                      those who knew the value
                                            of the prize which
                                         these people treasured
                           "the Contabier verses "the Colloquialism"
                                         together they stood tall
                                     someone spoke of these two
                              entangled as "pleistocene Homo Longi"
                                            the sleeping giant.
                                               Lines and ends
                                        centered middle between
                                                      the post
                                         one should leave bragging
                                                 in arrogance
                                     the other jolly, maybe friendly,
                                            and not as interesting
                                                    as before.

one might read them from
Enthusiasm, 
Gaudy,
beyond reproach
 double needed through a
 fixed contract.
the Overall projection scheduled for
 the enjoyment of fans and people
who wish to belong in the proper conversation.
