Out of Kilter
It's not worth quibbling over
what they propagate and assert holds water;
it's tantamount to a nation out of kilter,
leaving us flummoxed,
helter-skelter.

The law against them
merely dawdles and ambles
toward dismissal—
no need to clamber.

Their desires dart and hurtle,
slinking and vaulting over;
swift as lightning without thunder.

That is how they lunge,
scuttle, and sashay—
as we plod despondently—
solely in a mosey.
