trust is a spraining covert affair

trust: processing…processing…processing…

trust is a spraining covert affair,
a surveyor of inner tolls.
it cooks a poison out the fool
and shaves the bones for gold.

behind its act, the dubious hands
from precedent bitten flank.
the risks — sieved through probative
antiseptic septic tanks.

its track (stacked on great mem’ry)
nails its curtains to the jambs;
if tugged by any skulduggeries,
the window thereby slams.
