Sweet Dogs
Getting zero in the most minor of tests
Signposted latest sayings call for perfection
Rhyming and stealing, sudden vacancy
Perfection of form, an intelligent comeback
Slipping disks a practice not gone before.
Rewarded through stasis, a coldened coffee,
Ploughing through time a burdened slight,
Overpriced announcements stuck on mute
This fashionable skin outshines the performative.
Turgid repetition, bracing for the impossible
Going through the immobile into another void,
Cursed into a sleeping bundle, escaping the streets
Suggested into further credit, practiced sweetly
Knowing something is wrong a generous aside.
Death through another loan, excellent reprise,
Caught unto death in the children’s hour,
Liking what’s on offer, the uncanny switch
Begging for preferment, travelling with a heart.
Waiting for payment, the intransigent model,
Raw genius gone uphill, inspired by demons
Hard practice through sorrowed mistakes
The weeping wound landscaped into a close,
Visiting out of turn, returning to a Godhead.
