“ Stunning “ ...

” Stunning “

Stunning aids
vulgar tapes playing
deadlocked lawmakers

higher and longer
missile launches
reacting cautiously

while deadlines draw
little support
like case-delayed roiled courts

passing bucks all along
minus some forethought
without getting caught

dressed in golden oil
behind open-and-porous
white-washed walls

all for a song
by mixing
“this-with-that”

being freed from passion
full-bodied sopranos
not meant to happen...
