Beauty Pageant at the High Court

Why should a Rosario crown
suppose itself pink
or think itself not?

Could another clapping claque
stoop to think
of deepening itself into the rot?

Would an apothegm suffice
to send a salvo
which might salvage what the savagery forgot?

are there others
i said in the stillness

are there others
to what hope is yet patient

are there others
and old dogs, too!

waiting desecrating extirpating
all our long and only lonely living lot?
