Company Town

Whine and Bitch,
sitting uncomfortably close,
exchange Innuendo via
Eyes

Tracking the nascent
Bud of Spring's Daughter
Hope, careless unfurling,
Caught

In the Net of Sisters
Mediocrity and Banality,
Daughters of Fear,
Stab

Behind the Veneer
of vapid Propriety,
Negligence and a long leash
Hung

Taught in the Hall
of One-Way
Mirrors don't speak
Truth

To Power
