Baby shrugging apologizes

A baby screaming for independence:
subhuman attempting to defuse
mongrel linguistic traditions.

The infant's mouth urged dialogue,
apologized for differences,
nonetheless drew protests.

Spiritual leader -- told the liar that he is --
wasn't breathing, holding a statement:
preservation of respiratory terminology.

Gotham City linguistic tax agency.

A Familiar Moment

Brigades of the dismissed
From North and South
And heavily armed with head and hand

Riot as artists of walking
And singing the song
Of an unseen motherland

And the police nearby
Are seized and carried
In arms of breakthrough passion

Soweto Set Seven

The candles were black
and they had wounds on their backs.
The Razor blades were in their school bags.

Wrapped up formal
in a place to do good work.
Talks of Saturday.

To be set free.
The death sentence commuted to life imprisonment
of seven prisoners, three.

Monsters Promised Freedom

An angel is poised
On the edge of the Promised Land
A frail but perfect vision

A dark storm clouds her eyes
In thunderous displeasure
Her mouth is a swift dagger

She is unapologetic
In her forceful defence
Of freedom

Score, With Paleoclimatologist

Event One: Signage strewn in the streets.
People park on the on-ramps.
Thousands of microorganisms in winter.

Event Two: A sliding tree broken, and scorched grapevines.
Bronze bears lick the burnt stems
to identify a long-dead ocean.

Event Three: A broken sediment of colored charcoal
suggests gnarled rain
pointing fingers at the past millennium.

Email Reading Itself

To atone for posting fake software,
a robot phone plans to steal the Seven Golden Appliances
out of their twisting links of balance

in the League of Household Solicitations.
(That same robot once tracked the movements
of a missing refrigerator all over Queensland.)

If they continue walking long enough,
people tend to develop an extravagant winding message,
reasserted thrice yearly -- an annoying mystery.

Nothing Is Known

Breathing. Breathing. Loop.
Indelible rainbow.
Alligators countless alligators.

Birds, flight, nonsensical patterns.
Miming the, the miming angels.
Deaf airflow visions.  Strenuous, riven, unique.

Absolutely. Absolutely.
Breathing, alone.  The indelible method.
Do not monitor lizards.
