Off the Boil

Con/Jur/d, 4/6/2024

 

Depends on the day

sometimes,              the coffee is scalded

 

2012 was quite the year               big, big

changes, although, we didn’t believe

McKenna et al. it was the end

                                                 of history

( *we may have been wrong * )

 

hard to deny the story

 

when the engine is on full boil       foolish

to ascribe the pressure building to other

unseen ( *invisible* ), causes, we 

 

called-it-a-thought-cluster           because

 

we were young, the engine fully prepped

and it was impossible to believe this 

machine, could behave, differently

 

GREAT              PUFFS         STEAM

 

             head-stomach-wheels

 

authors, politicians and marketing    drones

 

rely on, our cynicism, this pragmatism

this inevitably ( *surprises* ), expectations

craft the beginning, middle and end of our

lives, like how you half expect this

 

BOOM!                            ( *see how it is?

 

most of our life happens off the boil 

without parenthesis*

 

 

 

 

*or italics
