A mantle of suet,
to wear charm school
on threadbare
mask to gull have the
face in laissez-faire
patsy, a soft touch
as the garden of old school
is biddable remember
in sotto voce easily
in your upstairs crony room
the public-space gurus
are on new artificial hillocks
pilloried to roam freer
down under turning
to skill predation
the admin cortex
brittle alert break
brittle alert break
given as bellwether smite
