Smokestack faces
fill the sky
with one eye
facing east
Backdoor ravens
flap their wings
with a message
that never ceased
Lean-to ladies
shake their hips
holding court
for the feast
Ding-dong do-gooders
never know
which ones
need them least
But that's not true
for the presiding priest
But that's not true
for the presiding priest
