The language of pattern
not affording to dawdle
unmuzzling genes
using their proteins
in healthy colonies
spreading quickly


killing its victims
by biting off bits
of the parasitic
with capacities
for grammar
from the Latin


"fractus" flabbergasted
on campus by the mathematics
of facts in heretical abstractions
like finite challenges
as enigmatic alphabets


fresh or processed
particularly trendy
yet totally unexpected
versus the heavy
warmer weather


generally selling
as accessories
of increasing percents
questioning contents
without question


like spring dresses
and royalty checks
for the newest collection
while tussling with spectrums
of surviving under-represented
members hammered together


sets of Stetsons
many mezzos of envy
with wild abandon
in handfuls of sass
like alternatives to sand
as former faves tramping
while our mileage varies...
