Some months after
a convivial hour and a half
of chatting in dark glasses
after parenting with a vague
sense of betrayal
as relationships fray
in bad taste for babies
of formerly chaste
travel agents
seeking tech-savvy
destinations
at less than
the standard rate
these days
on an executive's pay
with little or nothing to say
literally anchored
as the sun breaks
loosely based
on all sorts of strange
emanations
from freckled faces
orchestrated
as UV rays
like the latest
permutations
of stationery
noisemakers
situated
in order
to dissipate
syndications
on and off stage
as thoughtful
commentary
for moving targets
as have nots
rambling across
unmarked car parks
amid rampant brambles
over vast expanses
with travel bans
for unimpressive fashions
taking advantage
of embarrassing
undervalued talents
slamming footprints
in a sprint in order
to keep thin...
