One Last Later
Betrayed! The voyeur's curtain
Wraps the timely conscience of the last
Uncertain, steamy leerings
Of past presidents and leaders
In a greasy knot
Bedecked in primrose satin
Creeps the tiny consequence of lust
Unerring, steely gleamings
Used rods from old Fast Breeders
In a sleazy net
But sorrow's such sweet parting
is lost on what is dear,
Unsteady, starry dreamings
From men, many thought were cheaters
On a grassy knoll
Rolling back the curtain,
Striped with threadbare counterpoints of dust
nostalgia becomes the preferred poison
And we strive to adjust
Beside a broken Knave
