Ankit's blog

It's only a paper tiger

The firewood
that warms cockles
of cocksure liars' hearts
with hearths fed
by ancient lyres and liras
while you hawk lures
to slaughter corpses
for corps to grow
proprietary crops
that cost dearer
than your arrears'
bearer's net worth

The plumes charcoal,
barring even the most
disarming goals
for COP(29) to halt charred coal
or fumes exhumed
from the tar road
rolling car cargo
the possibilities
of slow ice furlough
so far remains far, though
the next new netflix
quarter par goal will solve for
which star to reanimate per contract embargo
to star in the animated reboot of fargo
to sidestep the picket star-struck march forth
