Unexplainable

Taking aim
heralding change
under speculation
unexplainable flex pay


flagrant loan modifications
spending decades
deciding to break
prior obligations
in violation
of out-of-state
layoffs as payoffs


too big and unwieldy
as overlapping
black-capped chickadees
foraging on twigs
and chunky sea ducks
feeding on mollusks
common to abundant
monogamously hidden
among underbrush


heavily hunted
easily flustered
boyishly undone
culturally befuddled
by neither punk
nor grunge bee venom


crew necked
small headed
predaceous decay
stout bodied
hollowed out


rat-tailed maggots
taking advantage
of esteemed families
as handicappers
handle the slop
without harm
or letting on


complimenting cops
as point guards
international or not
in highly-charged
carnivals of carnage


affinities for hockey's
ricocheted shots
keeping the pressure on
like high-level decibels'
next level of upsets
flirting with heavily-
pressed legends


after starting with fresh parts
using the phrase, "popular"
for those in want hiding in garages
and hopping through backyards
with firm holds on the monopolies
of mixed martial arts genetic glitches
shying away from dinner
avoiding the risk of facing a cliff-
hanger of tradition freely admitted...
