STATE of things as of late:
ERODEd strength, loaded head;
WACKY senses- feeling of dread.
TASTY? No. Pasty? Yes. A weary, walking CoVid mess!

Gate to the Future
GROUTs peered at in cup’s bottom reveal what future?
SPURT of fateful activity, but where, who, to whom?
TOWEL from Hitchhiker’s I might as well wrap round my eyes.
A GATE to the future is every moment, and all I know is stepping through it.

Rage Cleaning
GROUT subject to furious scrubbing in a
SPURT of bathroom cleaning with Magic Eraser,
TOWEL, and loud cursing. Not even
AGATE sculptures in art museum given such attention.
Agate
AGATE is a crystalline canvas, a tie-dyed rock daubed with a paint-soaked
TOWEL and fine brushes, streaked with squeezed and shaken
SPURTs of colors from tubes and buckets. Even rock need not be mere bland
GROUT or gravel when in the hands of a Master Artist.

The Path to Former Glory
ERODE in pursuit of former glory that glory’s every institution:
STATE’s purpose to smoothe out faction by orderly succession.
WACKY quacks in bombast push to fore for faster diminution.
TASTY! cheered satirists then, who now groan from such oppression.
Checkout
TASTY options and flashy packages
ERODE the resistance of self-control:
WACKY characters dance across labels to the music of
STATEd refusals.

Crabbed age and youth
The NEWLY-weds appear to take their vows:
he an old bloke soaked in BRINE,
she, the apple of his eye, his former PUPIL.
UTTER astonishment gluts the guests.
Newly a Citizen
NEWLY a citizen; no longer a sojourner!
BRINE-laced tears beaded, then fell.
PUPILs expanded, entertaining with
UTTER gratitude how her grim journey had begun and just how far she’d come.
