" In a Marathon "...

" In a Marathon "

In a marathon
of denied plots
still operating
as conversational
statements

constantly
being monitored
by the unorthodoxy
of hardscrabble policies

via mission-creeping
unremarkably
high-echelon parties

rigidly clinging
to the low self esteem
from making flip-
flopping promises
to the downtrodden
and unwanted

played in C sharp
repeated in every bar
feeling unresolved

having gone beyond
being besotted
by perennially arching
verbal blossoms
of pendant bleeding hearts...
