villain to villain
nonperfect & nonexempt from judgement
we each the villain in someone’s tale…
dead vermin in some mem’ry’s jail.
by ev’nin’s drowse, the sole that weighs —
is all-caps-Judge’s ending-bell.
we all the rogue in satire’s eye…
mere breath appears to qualify.
a pinch! we’re triggered. the villains sprout —
& both sides play the either-sides:
…like…hands yank weeds from nestle & poise —
invasive villains, misconceived villains…
…& pawses spar with vacuum’s noise —
territory villains, auditory villains…
…petrol prices pick the pockets —
supply-chain villains, gas-hoard villains...
…tunnellers drain the deeds from sockets —
vampire villains, kinfolk villains…
…antipathy pollinates antipathy —
absentia villains, wrong-era villains…
…group-FREE claims dominance over group-FREE —
hierarchical villains, crayon-box villains…
