Capricious Connection

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Pretentious affection
Suspicious support
Capricious connection
is the last resort

Discordant epistle
Insolent lament
Imprudent dismissal
is the last torment

Aggressive defiance
Excessive attack
Transgressive alliance
is the last infract

Featherlight assurance
Watertight excuse
Fly-by-night endurance
is the last abuse

External intrusion
Infernal tumult
Maternal collusion
is the last assault
