To pretend to need a messenger to inspire
obligatory services bound by a oath
puppets entangled in the mire of their masters
remember people, as adults to stoke desire
energy rebounds under carbon-plated shoes
transformed into bounce, a spring to each step, those loath
every day to wake up to global disasters
nothing lost, nothing gained, to flip the room inside
defined perspectives turned inside out, long queues
train around corners, Depression-era bread lines
obtain memories, survivors remember days
not so long ago, of ruthless men without spines
enter history, before hydrogen decays
exit solar rays, sunbathing beauties outside
distance between points in space-time, to span light years
ask not what others won't fulfill as promises
message A K, Dean of Graduate Studies
enter with a smile, shake hands and leave for good, tears
slither down, serpents with L T, trust
sinister sucker punch servants, hits or misses
exit unworthy of assistance, no buddies
no friends keep in touch, pariah without a drum
give a crooked beat to a constable, entrust
each moment with care, say goodbye to art school lies
remind memory to remember just the good
trust no one again, billionaire fascists, ghost spies
orders of angels, earth, air, water, fire and wood
itch the elements, dogsbody, belly, to strum
not golden harp strings but catgut for violins
sinister sister, T plays in hell
plays for the devil, A K, the conductor
instruments ready, a chamber of violence
remorse for years lost, added suffering, the bell
endlessly ringing, wonderful, life's obstructor
