Saucy Statesmanship Poem by Tanec Rayl

an amazing strategy I have discovered
for speaking in asides as people do
is to ignore all unknown tags
as losing all hope is to accomplish freedom
and doing so brings some sort of sexy back
to the frontier of interpersonal communication

without wanting to cause any controversy over this subject
I can plainly state the questions presented for review
and the schedules that prescribe
(to the extent specified in regulation)
minimum recovery room standards
and a time line for the Apocalypse

I don’t expect praise, or even acknowledgement
but thought you might sleep a little easier
knowing that this relationship between a person and a proposition
(or a sentinel and a scout)
is sufficient for the sighting and necessary to the survival
of the people owning nothing but their environment provides
blinkered and subsumed by the power of an empire
losing nothing but its name
in a triumph of uncertainty
