Awe-struck vision,
Blind to derision,
Panic lesions,
Mindful excision.

Attention is the fee
For all the world to see
In the social machine
Attention, the calm host
In the digital post
Selects the meme that wins

Tiptoes—enforced restraints,
A blade designed for heads
May only slice the bread.
An elegant handcuff,
A mind of sharpest steel
Commands a rubber scalpel’s real.

Wordplay sparkles like sequins,
Drawing every ear and eye,
Words and beat lift spirits high.
Wordplay as a skyline sprint,
Where struggles and sharp skills meet,
In the common, shared street beat.

The side order of dimples,
It curves with a hidden dent,
A quiet act of dissent.
Built-in footnotes of mischief,
They flash on a cheerful face,
Imparting an impish grace.

A decadent doodle,
On pages pure and white,
A coaxing, sly noodle.
The itches you can’t scratch,
But you scratch them all the same,
And face the certain catch.

The rusted microphone,
That misses every groan,
From lands we have disowned.
An hourglass roundly clogged,
With plastic grains now bogged,
Earth's patience wearing thin.

A mischievous whisper,
It sports among the shelves,
It breaks the quiet spells.
A feather somersaults,
Carried by a sudden breeze,
It tumbles with mild ease.

Echoes, the secondhand sound,
Of moments fierce and profound,
Yet in empty spaces found.
Music—Sounds and stuff like that,
Atoms conspire on a scheme,
From chaos, sense to redeem.

Regarding a comma misplaced
The public showed distaste
And order was effaced
An apostrophe was skipped
Civilisation then slipped
And not a sound was heard

A slinky stretched skyward,
Each loop a day slips past,
Its progress is wayward.
A vertical slinky,
It leaps without a lapse,
Stretching then collapsing.

Humpty Dumpty’s last hurrah,
He sought the crowd’s empathy,
The outcome was quite bizarre,
Always passive-aggressive,
It brings him down without fight,
Which seems somewhat oppressive.

In between warmth and burn,
A glow that takes its turn,
To neither side to spurn.
In between saint and scum,
A light that won't succumb,
To label all and some.

Where every book self-censors,
When scanned, it denies its truth,
So truth it never sponsors.
A factory of self-forgery,
Where each widget is called truth,
Though it is but perjury.

An affront to self-respect,
Like gravel in the shoe,
It jabs the whole day through.
The floorboard of dignity,
With rusted iron nail,
That tells a sorry tale.

A polite virus that coughs,
When misinformation flows,
It gently contradicts those.
A semantic spider weaves,
In the headlines' ample spread,
A net for the misled.

Capturing mischief mid-flight,
A toe dipped in, fears are born,
And great floods are thereby sworn.
Just a spark, a sneeze, a wink,
Caught a drop, then fears begin,
And sold as the ocean's win.

Flirting behind logic’s back,
Numbers adopt a vocal tack,
Creating sound from zero's lack.
When nothing learns to spell O,
It dresses up in verbal glow,
And pretends it has somewhere to go.

Whenever the truth gets close,
His glass fogs, leaving no trace
Of verity's honest face.
His own alternative facts,
He exists in his own acts,
And ignores all real impacts.

Ghostwriters of reason,
Who write the terms unseen,
Exposing the treason.
Overheated egos,
By logic's school, they're cooled,
Though left a bit bemused.

The rare act, the self-owned,
A scheme so finely honed,
That targets are disowned.
The self-owned, masterclass,
He mars his own press pass,
With clumsiness, alas.

Bend the knee, the syntax norm,
A bow made of sound and form,
So order won't be transformed.
Pecking order, verbal sheen,
Social order, crisp and clean,
Pecking order, seldom seen.
