Prophet, Like This

this was called looks within time
in front of a cult of personality
no more to lend myself to them
in these recurring gender roles
for medieval german youth
moreover a term of earth
come of age in place & setting
this was the penultimate lesson
if godliness could be occupation
seven citations for murphy’s law
later these were false witness
of differences between need & want
we rise only to save the daylight
more geese than swans now live
