partnership needs no explanation

or dispense with regret and remorse

refuses to be concerned
by carelessness

‘not responsible’
is/was/always a card-carrying business

background laughter is misfortune’s rejoinder

the car drives the gets away
beyond criminality
to await a better opportunity

meanwhile devils may care
randomly – indiscreetly - recklessly

while bidding is done
doors open         because it is earned

dishonesty finally steals the last breath.

hungry as ever for tragic poetry
