Reimbursement or lapsed memory?
The budget balances on a razor's hedge
Shaved to the wooden bone
Or overgrown, thrown beyond
The edge that we had in mind.
Grind a new capitalization
From the coriander
And let those little marbles
Become keeps in order to play.
The order borders the process
A ruler's guideline:
Inching
Centimetering
Banding to gather
Another measured marker
Of how things ought to be.
Mission: modification.
Fission: edification.
Rejoin the simple simile
And banjo a metaphor
To play the globular glass
And carry home conjunctions
In the form of the crass.
