“holes filled bilaterally
landed self-serve or immigrant;
promise, missile, demise
Capital expansion and deficit re-election orders of the delay and consumer relations department making strange bedfellows in fiscal mission position, the hard headboard of directors knocking up the catch phrase, knocking down our dormant queues, ballot-boxed. The party system the morning after and fragments of memory missing.
this mission, locked
me, missing-in-action again
the prom’s dead”
-- from “3 Promises; A Renegue”
