slowing up and racing down

who is going to tend these once
aggressive violets posing
on my white rug

who is better when for worse
a cadre of reuptake sugars
penitence

who is better qualified to master
requisite bridge-building work
than sacrificial anonymity

who is gruff in ranch hand code
enough to browbeat strangers
enemies and holdouts

who repairs the frosting on a birthday cake
belonging to remaindered pairs
of population

who revokes the privilege of ignoring
facts based on the facts
stretched to the coast

who brims with impatience while being credited
with a flurry of restraint
who bombards the universe horizontal kindling
