" Racing "

Racing to foil town halls
facing down burdening enforcers
literally being scorned by forethoughts
going back and forth as afterthoughts
like pre-curtain cat calls in the offing

simultaneously succeeding and failing
wavering between slinky and taut
feeling eerily poignant at the box office
issuing transitional points for underdogs
and their notorious signatories

left with nothing
to do but smile
and roll our eyes
while peering
out from behind
the not so sly

loudly decrying
the tantalizing
priorities of life
without even trying
within shining
spiral nebulae
externally
compiling
the insides
of our minds
just for spite
all in lotus style...
