On the Dust Jacket

" On the Dust Jacket "

On the dust jacket
electromagnetic meddling
as sexy and reflective portents
from the northern steppes
of filial developments
with power centers


having weathered
complex specialties
of higher spending
for natural selections
using frozen cells


gone extinct
in a short-term sleep
overrun by zombies
like bodyguards
for lovelorn goddesses
with their clothes on


with the fire and ice
of unrecognizable
mainlining societies
firing split-second spikes
in neuroscience
conjuring up surmised slides


in the midst of what has been
trending as specialists
flopping badly in bailouts
hurled back and forth
in financial storms
of religious disorders
for the desperately poor


with cardinal warnings
to enforce the law
challenged in court
by complaints of extraordinary
rising costs for the unaffordable
from years before
with fiscal notes of caution


diggin' the dancin' queen
steppin' to a bouncin' beat
of the fitness industry
in a demographic shift
for tens of millions


fillin' in on field trips
for children
with noncredit certificates
demandin' more skills
of grim difficulties
while payin' tuition
with a hug and a kiss
after altering history...
