Bound Tightly

" Bound Tightly "

Bound tightly
largely
still in tact
ailing autocrats
victories set backs


exasperated as parables
with inaccurate background checks
along vast turbulent stretches
of unconfirmed defections


scrambling to get
to who they're up against
as the most testicular leverage
for charity benefits


like lie and try gun violence
being charged with crimes
by crossover types
in open pit gold mines


likened to mobile devises
coded "indecisive wunderkinds"
aspiring on and off line while on trial
as a means of proselytizing


decorative styles undermined
by folksy types invoking ancient times
of unchanging script and illumination
as reverential and elevating sensations


connoting rich falsettos
mentholated
like cool arpeggios
stargazing
comfy eh?
authenticated big bangs
oddly fascinating


cosmic crawling gnawing
wildebeests
frenzied indispensably
as dissections
over millenniums
of astonishingly conceptual
fifth-century codexes


elephants on the menu
guess the rest
as hierarchy trumps hunger
while ghoulish beetles
use eyelash glue
rife with ghost writers
rummaging through archives
of intellectual types


wielding billy clubs
in seedy night clubs
under lumbering
cardboard bed covers
inaccessible to the public
painstakingly de-constructed


hair and makeup
shot over a long hot summer
with head buts
as tactics of discomfort
while mothers hug sons
of indestructible no ones
by blowing bubbles
mostly as pathos
for the taking
cherry ice; cream smile...
