A new poem (influenced by Hogarth and others)


The comfort room is within reach

Our founding father's pride

And fill the everlasting swirl

With cunning beast-like eyes


A journey past the paper door

A walking figure's cane

A punishment discreetly changed

A purpose. Hidden pain


An arm held tight against its host

Warmed by blood and anger

Tricked by words and gentle hands

And kisses that will linger
