despite misgivings and trivial inclinations

we set reservations to change stations

like Changing Faces and other places

time erases what was sent when it meant evil

we see the needs blaring from the sky posts

the most we can expect seems to select a time and place

this makes for awkward encounters that amount to

not much more than what was explored

some hit the floor in shootouts while others keep firing

I'm retiring several clichés and colloquialisms

like the schisms spoken of in an Agnostic Front song

all along we were painted wrong like we bothered somebody

by giving a nod to past cultural fragments

Life's Rich Pageant or Monster Magnet

what happened on the way seems frayed

so we delayed our reaction some gained traction

a certain faction of ne'er do wells do tell

what can spell out the probable conclusion?

some used this frivolously and thusly

"Much Thrust" by Bernie seems to discern

a permanent mark by giving a spark
