“ Ingenuity “

Ingenuity
showing unity
sharing night shifts

getting inventive
along dragon-shaped lakes
reflecting false information

garnering collared watch dogs
fake news and porn all across
so-called, “media platforms”

wresting oil along rocky shores
threatening trade talks
via far-flung insults

conducting case studies
receiving significant funding
for companies suing governments

while cuddling and testing wolf puppies
addressing bully pulpits pressing pause buttons
wanting more money no matter what

bottle-fed and mothered
custom lengths and circumferences
yet never giving up

coming under published studies
of guerrilla gunners that nearly weren’t
within creative struggles

seeking answers for crossword puzzles
like hindquartered troubled subjects
while calling, “Giddy-Up!”...
