Defamation of Joanne

Defamation of Joanne (written 2001)

Cretans interrogate the obvious delights
Inquiries of waggish jest throughout the nights
Repeat their beats of wanton wails
Sounds that sculpt forms of contention
Played off as child’s innocence
Playing on child’s discrimininces
Delectation disfigure into indiscretion

These are the ways of byword jays
That specks and speaks of gossip leeks
Nests built upon half-truth frays and darkened days
Create shivery shelters on doomsday peeks
May their forked song be forgiven of impartialities
To convert and discharge grace amongst the face of all Realities
