oops

Gliding on the tumultuous breeze,
We are birds of show and sleaze,
And I want the ground that is mean and terse
And a landing not to rehearse --
My shadow, a more truthful effigy,
On the equitable ground below me;
For, I have seen even in a matte autumn leaf
My vagrant face -- in disbelief.
When we have landed on the earth firm,
On life’s shallow epiderm,
Pray tell, you’ve not taken up in a nest
Of perspiration and dishonest.
Through the thicket of spiky twigs,
A thicket like deceitful wigs,
There lies your stiff panache
Feathers to change shape in rehash
And rehash of lies,
Feathers heralding swarms of flies --
And hope you’ve not settled for a scant “x”
Under foreign eggs, with their foreign flecks --
And specious, rounded points of eggs
Stolen from other brooding dregs.
And I would rather stay and fly
If inert feet do not decry
The stories laid out with a tweak,
Gaping from Agenda's beak.
So wherever we have landed,
Let it be candid.
