" Holding Out Some Hope "...

" Holding Out Some Hope "

Holding out some hope
juxtaposed forebodingly
more backstreet than Main Street

nonetheless clearly
breathless vacuity
relying heavily
on merely
"bad" movies
rebooted pouty

standing out hands down
immensely powerful
acrobatically in tandem
with deep despair

impractically passing the hat
while frantically kicking the can
long-absent-out-of mouths
leaden-and-garish lapsed weapons' bans...
