Menace

MENACE

Growing softer, softly growing;

Writhing serpent, never slowing

Its demented drive,

Aspiring to cryptic aspersions.

This menace

Dissembles lunacy,

Foments mutiny,
Evades all scrutiny.

Manifested as a flash of fiery ash—

Mendacious mocking, bomb tick-tocking,

Garnering compensation

From cruelty.

It’s been inside of you,

All this time.
