Progress-in-Vogue



Wending y’ way thru what wasn’t meant to be a 
paraphrase of laconic jargon lent something like 
the contiguity you assumed legit - tho not that it 
mattered a whit - you are up and at it - shooting 
th’ breeze with all and sundry using your seemly 
epithets, saluting th’ flag as if th’ next election’s 
already progress-in-vogue, & th’ last lots clutter
redressed past-tense as tho’ bucolically passé 

As well it may but you’re no more seer of views 
cleared of rectitude offending the simple tenets 
from beliefs we grew up with are you; & nor are 
we, I suppose, so the process hangs in a same 
sex view of what goes awry when you depart a 
canon bereft of its contiguous commonsense
