Another Painful Hike

Constrictive church-designed garments
leave trail of destruction across the world:
we are experiencing Sacred Underclothes.

In terrifying videos shared on social media
Ms. Piton stopped wearing the garments when exercising.
Church members stretched upwards to breathe.

Some filmed the unfolding tragedy, while others
called loved ones or posted pleas for help.
"We are frustrated all of the time," say scientists.

Burning Energy Proposals

spewed smoke and ash up to six miles high
massive infernos burning to red sun visibility
as gray smog shrouded Manhattan’s skyline

energy as weapon to commit aggressive acts
press for effective measures including sanctions
give Russia power over European gas supplies

coherent proposals rather than merely a slogan
wide-ranging and disjointed programme of random policies
everything and nothing lacking definition and coordination

Contrary to Viral Claims

During a confessional campfire on a school trip,
a teaching aide made a striking admission:
casual hugging prepares the body for business.

The kindly lady who taught me piano has been found
to be effective and safe. Some softer elements
aren’t reacting since the report came out.

I don’t know when infection became the thing
but the US dollar has dipped. It never occurred to me
to question the practice of time and place.
