The bird's dog can't smell.
Neither persons under the hood,
where grease makes geese
go down comfortable.
The machine man won't hum
just as the guy wire
asks ya'll not to pull.
Clarity is charity
and charity precarity --
verily, yay, in response
to that which came before.
Cause's defect: effect.
Effect's inflection: vexing.
For where warders hoard
safety wraiths keep their faith
hidden under boards stolen
from the forest and the trees.
Idiom day, today, scratches every itchy finger,
outrigger and otherwise relations shipped
overnighted, so to speak,
to arrive in time for the consumption bell
wrung from every handed screen.
And this, all this above,
is our situation, our incantation, our easy gradation;
all we have to rue
is rude itself.
