Time Imperfect (Free verse) by MacFrantic
Beset upon by faith and dependency
No love for the loveless today
Arrangement by way of estimation
Time slowing to clutch busy souls
A head swimming with gratification
Marbles left somewhere in Arizona
Poison seeping through fleshy cracks
Broken tones embedded in swollen eardrums
Night falls beneath an earthly sunset
As dawn blooms above a filthy vagrant
Shirtless cowboys feasting on ghosts
Adolescent rebels bearing themselves
Grace bowing to sympathetic cause
Derailed principles with true aim
A swamping greed closing in fast
While time ends at a razor-thin crossing
