“Get busy livin, or get busy dyin.” Stephen King

for all intents and nervousness

agendas are not purposeless

though some have improprieties

to bring a bull moose to its sneeze

indicativity’s inactive

as sleazy actions are redactive

though elton john and kiki dee meant

well, disclosured per agreement

Their names dragged in their names now drop

along with cher and iggy pop

legitimizing stance anarchic

and Who knows what makes ringo starr tick

l’envoi

so many of our thumbs a-twiddle

not giving effs for sphinx nor riddle

redact, distract, enact, pretend

we still feel like we’re near

The End
