" Touching Off a Firestorm "...

" Touching Off
   a Firestorm "

Touching off
a firestorm
to say the least
awkwardly
ignoring pleas
placed
at a premium

promising
bids quickly
to emissions
like lives
in limbo

being priced out
of heists
while high-fiving
in complete avoidance
over time

glowing beneath
heat lightning
tranquilizing F.Y.I.
as a precise
pre-requirement
for compartmentalizing
every strike...
