Dummy from Form Rank by FORM RANK

it’s stagnant but
somehow still moves
looks ironclad
but easily bruised
it’s stubborn and
coming unglued
just a beachside
backslide in plain view

it’s falling off
into vacant space
a checkered flag
without having a race
it’s closure on
that coffin parade
just a dark mass
car crash face to face

we’re gonna form ranks
we’re standing
at the edge of the world

it’s shallow breath
to stoke the flame
like setting sight
without taking aim
it’s standing idle
but expecting change
just a reticence impediment
of coming age

we’re all drawn blank
and given keys to the world
fresh faced cherubs
with our brows unfurled
but we’re the parasite
that spawns the pearl
just an excess
accessed unfit burl
