in place

there’s a deficiency
going around
causing the eye to
twitch and legs
to wander in
place
face reasoned to
expect the worst case
under the best
of conditions
and the lingering
of your brain
thought out
asking for a next
disgrace
under a branch of
misplaced wisdom
growing again
unto our sorrows
following its dents
all the way home
within the furrow
of the movement there
