of imagery and class inversion

a meal of paper sparrow
and charge of nuclear essence
power her winters through twilight
and rasputin grip on existing
a cause of staggering home

unplayed guitars unechoed
unspoken word caféd
in the quietest alleyways
a new proper
besieging the dark
the lower
unrefined elegance
couth sans luxury

uptown
folly spikes
marketshares
weekends toiling to rescue
tiny currency bits
aristocratic mud wrestling
a trump of giant foam finger

still she bleeds lime
bewildered by revolution
hastening the chalky essence
