The 652

The six fifty-two
All the filler
Usually viewed as
Painfully pushing on the way out
Witnessing the raw ingredients
Up close and combined
Unappealing
Coming or going

All hail the justice
Chief above all else
More random luck striking
Seats occupied by brief suggestions
Eluding to a gross unilateral negligence
Vigilante
The people's hero

Unmanicured lawns
Sitting side by side
Leaning more toward jungle
Thus the jungle people leaning too
Right against the six fifty-two fence
Commingling when essential but staying jungley still

I like the rhythm/pace of the poem, like a train going by.

Thanks, Erin. Sometimes you eat the train. Sometimes the train eats you ;)
