Trading Blame

Trading blame
and bracing
for covert saviors
speciously revered
as ungodly
ruling bodies
not pretty
but still unbeaten
On the big-name
A-list after
a brazen raid
on and off stage
without the restraints
of a plaything
While whizzing
at high speed
during a life-
long trip at sea
with the familiar
sitcomish shtick
of nibbling chips
as a cartoonish
patrician
in response
to a mêlange
of mixed feelings
from shredded egos
and swapped barbs
Rambling on
while name dropping
like blarney for a sexpot
with skeletal parts
under binoculars
irregardless
Commandingly in charge
and hence harmless
after cashing a last heart
discarding a diamond
from the dummy
running clubs
with a high trump
and declared ruffs
as luxury-loving
while under discussion
Finding a comfort in the early
incontrovertible inertness
of someone else's words
in a close-mouthed world
Plotting to build
after bringing
down the house
without boundries
like shooting stars
re-enacted as blasts
with little chance
of ravaging impact
when slammed
into taking action
as an unprecedented
show of power
in a touchdown
Being coddled
above and beyond
with cultural prominence
like landmarks
as said parts of artistry
venturing onto an over-
hanging branch
with an intimate scale
and carefree abandon...
