” Long Bragged “

Long bragged
always laughed
off questioning
testing aggression
promising better
pushing ahead
seeking the potentials
within one-billionth
of a second
blazing unsettling
attempting
to keep fries succulent
as staples of summer
like beer and crumpets
rethinkings
of your love of dumplings
pumped then plumped...
