Lines
of inquiry
open-ended
queries
penetrating
thinking
behind
the scenes

dealing chiefly
with high-profile
firings of advisors
via tantalizing
questions
being provided
well ahead
of time

yet feeling
caught
in a devastating
downward
spiral
while seeking
asylum
for off-the-wall
long shots

being conjured
as found objects
of art on Mars
in landing spots
of planetary
parking lots
covered in rock

recorded
by seismometers
tracking
the wobbles
of the bizarre
like marginal
Codes of Conduct
for comedic
alma maters
posthumously
labeled,
“Anonymous”...
