Addictive Bangs Reported

Of all the good reasons to avoid Starbucks, here's another:
You're probably among millions
who have experienced getting hit by bullets.

Listening to the radio, your mind wanders to parties, first kisses...
Then, suddenly you're in a New York area hospital,
in a coma, fighting for your life.

There's no doubt about it.
Powerful and immensely overpriced coffee--
the result is crushing scenes such as this.

Elusive.

Hospital care was still not on,
Accused of blood payout.
A mix-up, failed by five-figure ulcers.

She vowed to campaign,
Prosecutions focused on hard clarity,
Motivation helping the battle.

High-speed service added nothing;
A due end announced
As customers aimed statements at the flagship.

He finally hit plane spotters;
missed three powerful Indian staff,
humiliating, finally, archery.

Temper crazy,
illuminating bad bullying,
trashed equipment – runway, mask.

Declared help, defend hand, donned hesitation,
raided scanner machine.
Target suspicious spying.

Imagining The Counterpart

In a survey of four consultants,

Is human intelligence making us stupid?
Can that intelligence be used in a different manner
for a different purpose?

so that no passports are required.

A Notion Missed

Today is the summit against slogans.
From Venezuela to Tuvalu, supporters sprang to the fight.
Shattered windshields were blanketed

with green banners molded from living plants.
But the tiny frosted ribbons between living and signifying,
saddled with their idealized witnesses,

are tried and cut by the steady forces of craft and myth,
their frozen emitters flooded with the chaos of compromise.
Time for lunch.
