Sensitive to a Fault

" Sensitive to a Fault "

Sensitive to a fault
out of respect for the source
foregoing walks


perplexing artifacts
flirting with the banal
however melancholy


while longing to sing
hard-drinkingly
during flings
with mummies


as clumsily as mixed up nuts
bustily loosened up
by the ultimately troubled


chain-smoking doldrums
leaching toxicity
like reality shows without notions
of pleadingly old wheelbarrows
being rolled over uncohesive
cobblestones of foreboding
onetime poets as voice-overs drone


interposed with little-known
funny-bone oldies
like second-hand smokes
lauded as heroes


charmingly silly yet lethal
scintillatingly reconfigured
figurines over snazzily
pale-pink altarpieces


steering clear of, "You are here!"
like chiming blessings in high decibels
emblematical of matrimonial fragments
trapped in tapestries as ominous
coats of arms with medical problems


mismatched as the heads or tails
of Rennaisance dancers disenchantingly choreographed
with the overlapping calibers
of intangibly scarred madness


confounded by stacks
of divergent reactions
for potted plants
aligned within the matchstick
gaps of hand-sized canvases in sand...
