a stable genius
things are seldom what they seem
corporate hostage
Snatching
straws
falling
tilting
precariously
through
notice
toward
doom
inverted
caricatures
of
marionettes
shine
& community
supports
& grips
divine
stumbling
wild
madness
shaking out
clean
time
& its
witness
upland
coarse.

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
A will is set up
So that
It is valid
So that no mischiefs
Will come in
So that no quarrels
Will arise
So that no snatch
Will happen
So that no court cases
Will be ushered in
So that the host
Will be always treated as a host
So that a fair share
Will be drafted
And so that
Money and wealth
Will be a blessing for all

mounting a ladder -
I snatch cherries from her plump tree
while grandmother naps

Ensnared in
the crystallization
of web's
intimidating deception,
superficial spider
met its
duplicitous match,
whence the improvised
contortionist morphed
forth from her chrysalis,
spun midst grandeur
of liberation's flight 'pon
triumphantly rivaled
diaphanous inception
SOUL SNATCHING JOBS
Tall Power forks pray-full tongues
Chews the tender will
Gnaws bones of fragile spirits
