July's collection

Lacrimation
The flow of tears, at times, provides introductory instructions
On relationships otherwise distinguished by vicious hustles;
Water is capable of militating, of preventing further exudates.
Global folks can grasp the appallingness of knock-on effects
In government offices, as well corporate boardrooms, since
Denizens ideas matter, despite new, flourishing workarounds.
After all, when we babysit politicos, mind middle-aged soldiers,
Look after industrial tycoons, were helping ourselves improve
Results, are practicing measured, freed, personal authorizations.
Foodstuffs of the Heart
Foodstuffs of the heart, camped at the shore of Kresta Bay, that Russian CIA base,
Exposed all manner of droit items, witnessed weighty, externally visible changes,
Including spiritual growth celebrations. In valuing religiousness over pyrrhic wins,
Soldiers, their guqins retired, fastened to no other zither music, no more irradiation.
Their linguistic bort, save for casual passels, whose infrequent merriment aimed to
Embrace peace, avoid foofaraws, likewise skirt the untying of worthy from awful
Relied, somewhat, on simultaneously discouraging modest carriages, plus Internet-
Sourced foci on the written word (some grunts realize statistics are stage-managed.)
From spun outlets to more distant ocean edges, elegiac noises, limited rights, travel
Narratives all yielded to vegetative density. Sea and land-dwelling creatures, in turn,
Froliced whereas glacial icefields remained unimpacted or where critters could dwell
Obstructed by enablement (selling ones wares in tourist shops rots, lacks validity.)
Simply, supernal gifts, like microclimate warmer than Washington (a biome reliant
On verbal examples and explanations), illuminate new ideas while reifying old ones.
One by one, the benefits falling out of such awareness raising include: journeying
Backwoods, marketed masterpieces in brick and mortar stores, and sleeping soundly.
Consider, the steering of intertextuality, the taming of grand structures into outsized
Designs normally brings gig economies to the brink (hubristic individuals are inclined
To underestimate intellectual property), fails to praise morality, offsets vital projects.
For now, falsehoods pull at resources. Tough tasks peris in lacking healthy responses.
Whether or not occluded compassion recuses us depends mostly on abject experiences.
Categories of effects, which catalyze likeminded individuals climacterics, test us less,
Leave behind few global, mythical beings or helpless victims; precisions not wearying.
Dubious multitasking exhausts probity as justifications become societys surplus plugs.
Kowtowing to Social Fads: A Tragic Romance
If viewers saw gushing, theyd be dismayed,
Pay minimum for such designated meddling,
Insofar as the high-flying lady had forgotten
Mawkishness putrefies airwaves personages,
Plus regularly contributes cultural weirdness,
Catches links to more verdant lives than hers.
Being sagacious, he weighed and measured
Disruptive antics, allowed schemes to swing,
Let fall hardly any truly subjective ambitions.
Rather, he directed microphones, computers,
Audio equipment for her exclusive pleasure,
While he overwrote code, paid editors extra.
After donning her chime-laced cap, snatched
From a previous release party, she mustered
Consolation from her Snapchat hangers-on.
The smart bells/whistles of his construction,
Anyway, intervened, only deactivated by his
Private channels, which she charily avoided.
In lieu of broadcasting wholly pure attributes,
Polysemic perspectives, sparkling cordierite,
Moonstones, parures, gold dust, refinement,
She revised termagant, sapphires, old civility
Up until her soporific management mangled
The couples soon-to-be-mediated romance.
He deliberated forever forgoing viable efforts,
Hiring some not-at-all-surreptitious detectives,
Dumping exploding crowds for hobo alliances.
Finally, while in self-enforced semi-isolation,
Bottles of stuff helped him to move his mind
Elsewhere, anywhere, another place from her.
