GUILLOTINE

GUILLOTINE

what we
ses now

the rise of
mountainous figures
massive funds
titanic spheres
of influence

posing as pontiffs
pretending to be Kings

nailing down royalty
better than
any monarchs
before them

until
slip, fall,
get loaded into
tumbrills crammed
full of jokers

wheels clacking their
way across streets
of broken cobbles

still be
with us today

were it not
for the succinct grace
and exemplary
certainty

sharpness of
wit
of Madame Guillotine
