"Before or After"...

" Before or After "

Before or after
a modernist lair
unevenly cast

coaxing hair-raising scares
via dashboard cams
of action fare

likened to boilerplate fams
well beyond compare
but nearly derailed
by pregnsnt glances

through never-the-less
self-correcting lenses
of unstated resentments
all depending on density
however well-intended

while making perfect sense
out of sequence
yet at-the-ready
with tense expletives...
