A Fault On The Floor

 

1. False Street
In the metropolitan chief's staff
Dictates country generals often hit
As a parliamentary street, you don't hear
Any of these -- about to begin here's
A publisher's interview, a compromise
To sensitivity, for constituents of a
Senator's recess. But there can't be
Any stability, when factional options
Derive university dialogues for the
Derision of moil's pickets, a raid
On moles and a generation's worship.

2. Floor's Kiss
This is wild, Harry. Second to starvation
There is the problem with show business.
Art imitating Cardinal Sin's use
Of concern, could there be more visible
Feeds on Philippine roadways, but
For inaugurations and launchings I kiss
The floor's subscription, available at
Trade conventions worldwide, gifts --
Modern products legislate makeshift
Safes for longer threats on the
People's force, the sustained loan.
