Bus,
That’s full of fuss .
Bus :
A yellow husk .
Bus ;
The wheels round dust .
Bus—
A mode of trust .
*[ WSB ].
A work of legal fiction:
We agree,
Unanimously .
—11th Circuit Court of Appeals—
| PLAINTIFF | I thought ; and therefore, It was so . |
| PANEL | Plaintiff has no possessory Interest in one hundred Documents classified . |
| PLAINTIFF | Bibbidi bobbodi BOO ! |
[ Red herring ] of
The previous erring ;
The inextricably intertwined,
On behalf of the people
May ensue :
An injunction denied—
Per curiam .

A tsar falls from heaven hanging
O’er the May Day march toward socialism
| Steps out of Chaos | .
Metronomic, the tics to the hammering tocks
Of clocks interlocking, sickles cycle
In the fields of crystal harmony—
Fist–pumps of the workers .
*[ WSB ].
Mushrooming,
The first stars switch on like flashlights
In the darkness,
Candles that briefly roar
And flower,
Releasing glitter to the wind .

The radiating red–orange
[ Photons of thermal vibration ]
Conduction and convection
Within the conventional oven
The baking element still functions,
The broiler element broken
Two years gone,
So with my 25% discount from
Walmart 
—no squiggly—
The toaster oven is purchased :
, 
and & deleted :
Because the drill from the
Corporation still drills
30 years hence, maybe more .
Cheese_Toast !,
Glorious, gooey, broiled–
On–one–side–only–to–a–
Satisfying–crunchy–edge
Toast : panis tosti—
The Welsh rarebit delicacy :
Bread near the Paleolithic fire :
A historical hot–button issue
For various cultures :
Arse–kneading dough as a love potion,
Advertising by the womb of the nation
Passion in the wheat–fields ;
Heads rolled to get sticks out of bread
—Ductile domesticity.
Element topology morphs toasting
Stones, into forks, into cages, into
My toaster oven .
The life hack of turning
The regular toaster sideways
Results in unacceptable
Carcinogenic blackened bottoms
And barely–melted cheese crowns .
Sting asserts in An Englishman
In New York, “ I like my toast done
On one side . ”
I have been eating British
Toast since childhood
—Small world,
Lands butter down 62% of the time .
The Maillard reaction,
The non–rational joy of fire
Near the staff of life—more popular
Than sex during matins—
Is nearly endless, exempli gratia :
You already know my favorite .
*[ WSB ].
Standing alone in purple nightshade .
Ra sails his fiery bark east
From beneath the world’s arc ;
The rays fan rose into another day
As capri sprinkles across heaven
In another world, cities sleep .
The attuned know loneliness
Under the celestial vault
Quarks build scaffolds of safety
As millions revel in routines ;
Violet presses against the edges
On the cerulean globe—
Kelvin cold hangs heavy
Stretching the skin of sky,
The Oceanus ever circles .
*[ WSB ].
Quite a feat skittering at the feet of dinosaurs,
Shrew–like mammal
Fleet ;
First wronged as reptilian,
But diphyodontly
Mammalian,
A distinction .
Mammalian lore :
Scattering eggs /
Feeding on dregs—
Triumphant !
Short the Permian / Triassic extinction .
