rotting tradition

take a wandering trout
fake laundering bail out”

the mass centers around
a moldy
defaced statue,
“Sir Char Brook”
they decided to keep it
a reminder-

“we do this every year!”
they screamed
hollered
cheered,
“take a wandering trout
fake laundering bail out”

the unjust
lingering
aroma.
crowded-
rotten trout
knee high-
and still
i tap my foot-
“take a wandering trout
fake laundering bail out”
