Authoriality

The narrator's frailty bowls
the snail trail off the grail scale,
ensuring that youth continues
to be a temporary thing.

Interoperable comparable minutes
dice hours into the sixties, a decade
prior, a selling buyer, bank-extolling
a pinch-flattering look in the eyes.

Bilge filches sewage from congruence,
as obtuse as a moose, goosing the
spruce with a caboose and a 
reduced filibustered crust.

Unfocused retention, spent
on dense defenses rented
from intent, as decent as
a recent injustice.
