Calling for a humane
giveaway
in a tough campaign
landing
on holiday tables
not bruised
or missing a leg
in a 90-minute
drive away
while getting
bills paid
and taking
up an entire page
that's not to say
looking at everyday
with just one aim
of shuffling
without complaint
while snaking
instead of aiming
straight
toward an embankment
Envisioning
a bull's eye target
in scarlet
like a polarizing
artist
without a partner
coming on fast
in a kneecapped
wonderland
as an ally
of the hapless
praised
for capturing
triumph
in any language
as a venerable
brand
Pulse quickening
muscular and earthy
tapering
to a winged stem
like a smooth
ground-cherry
ripening
with a deeply-
dented
base as heart-shaped
when used as capers
with a sweet potato taste
dried and pushed
through a strainer...
