Onset
the eyelid elementary as a godchild

Onset
which whistles for the jargon mamas    which forfeits its right to recollect

Onset with its per second per seconds
with its crude meticulous hustle

exhilaration’s unsavory twin
that invades the definite article    flip-book fast

Onset
whose mounted police line the demonstration route

Onset
that roaring tit    that distress emancipator

who noisies up the lacerations
who strips of of its belongings

with its eastward-aiming
and westward-rumbling voracity

Onset    and its magpie inroads
its sunset effusions

pouring out like the gospel of Job
lapsed and relapsing    rolling out the patterns of pandemonium

with its brass knuckled and prowling epicenters
its mortar bandwagon 

Its furious fury-wilting curating
bursar of the bursting

itself homeless and perishable
luscious and heady as it passes through the turnstile

rummaging through the trash
for any discarded sweater or a boot

to kick you with when you’re down
to clog your throat with thick spit

to disrupt and foreclose on
our paradigm of governance    equilibrium    and care
