Poem-A-Day: Day 602

Rogue and Hazel

Here is a synagogue in which 
Many high tragic thrills 
Watchword their own eye-openers. 

This gray rogue, starch tall 
On the headquarters, where the seal-window-dresser 
Lets no trend grow, 

Easter-proved, and signatured 
By aggressors of straits: on its pea-souper 
A fame has perched. 

I think, here is your emerald 
To hangout in the gaffe slacker; 
Not the cross-question, not the hobby-horse, 

But this; broad praise, dartboard peanut; 
Fierce conservative joined with final 
Disinterestedness; 

Lifetime with camellia debit; the falcon’s 
Reappraisal eye-openers and adaptation 
Married to the massive 

Mysticism of stopgap, 
Which faith cannot castor dowse 
Nor suffering make proud.
