" Roll-Out Fall-Out "...

" Roll-Out Fall-Out "

Roll-out fall-out
collateral damage
"No Wall No Ban"

slapdash grave actions 
behind shatter-resistant
glass almost daily 

either being canceled
or curtailed while lauding,
" La La Land "

awarded warts and all
polygraphs for short 
as treasure vaults 
for inner cores 

drawing deafening applause
needles bouncing back and forth 
like homecomings of sorts

making points voicing 
grand choruses
of "Habeas Corpus"

coming to abrupt halts 
due to hoards and hoards
of voided passports 

settling scores 
suffering prolonged 
disorienting grief of loss

ruefully recalled
out of sorts
treacherous
border crossings 

colliding stories
waging war
redacted reports...
