“Fickleness”
Tanya Tuble

I
Puppets talking, visible
on every medium, is the understatement
of the century.

II
Teeth glimmer, eyes
twinkle with plastered smiles and unstained skins,
chiropractics of society.

Unhealed rumpus
Pretense billowing betwixt
hideous conferences.

III
Harmonizing havocs
thru posh programs – tolerating tincture
acts. In the end,
they are irreproachable.

IV
Better must it be if the seat’s vacated,
interregnum, or best, if the talking puppets
relegated forever.
