# 12 P’I (STANDSTILL/STAGNATION)
Tasteless mouth
full of bone
Open jar of kindergarten paste
Staircase into a station to anticipate
what could be conditional whiplash
No one deserving is ever sued
Muttshacks that never see the depth
or platitude of fenced scope
Speak in a lack of leashes
and lions don’t need to talk
The news has been a flood
Downturns this Depress that Recess over there Recess for a few
Scores of countlessness Tetherball all capitalism is
An angel
with fluorescent
hair
does a handstand for every lunchbreak cut into a desk
The disbursement of every bonus burns Every christmas tree alive
Shredded flesh on venus fly trap beds
