Poem: "The Cracks Of Enormous Propensity"

"The Cracks Of Enormous Propensity"

force feed through the gills of deception
as the skies part, the sea lays waste
to the forever kingdom
of the forgotten rulers

the misfits will have their say tonight

wisdom teeth show a propensity towards
idiotic displays of iconic bathroom behavior
as the bushmen await their next victim
the practical joke has reached new heights

lest the common folk forget the supplier
of their sugar-laced hallucinations
the trucks roll by
the scent of bear claws, twists and coffee linger

sitting by the roadside
up the cracks
looking at the children
as they stare back

in glowing consternation.
