untitled (readjuster)
The readjuster's come to town;
warmth collapses into my body.
I've got a shivering grin
for the evanescent sun
that's flown in,
dropped by for a quick stint.
A joke it is I'm laughing
behind my own composite,
He's tweaking me back into
the lucid rut
where I love to glide and grudge;
the tangible flow
of yet-to-be-set
concrete,
flashes of a bridge I knew,
a bridge I could have been poured into-
But I'm static evaporating frenetic
indentured to his land
of mirage fields that conceal
deleterious metal and dissolute strands
of the dirt over which
I once had command.

I feel if you were to structure it like this:
The re-adjuster's come to town;
warmth collapses into my body.
I've got a shivering grin for
the evanescent sun that's flown in,
dropped by for a quick stint.
A joke it is, I'm laughing
behind my own composite,
He's tweaking me back into
the lucid rut, where I love
to glide and grudge;
the tangible flow of
yet-to-be-set concrete,
flashes of a bridge I knew,
a bridge I could have been
poured into-But, I'm static, evaporating frenetic
indentured to his land
of mirage fields that conceal deleterious metal,
and dissolute strands
of the dirt over which
I once had command
I assumed you be out running errands
for the Bio power network currently,
but lo and behold, you've graced us with your presense.
I would of guessed you'd be out recycling vegetable oil
for your countrymen's cause
