INCUMBENT APPEAL

speaking softly to the village dame
he requested that he be chosen to play her game
odds and perpendicular chances were in his favor
desiring the allure of her symphonic narration
and for the tour of her harmonic salvation
to be met with a qualified or undignified correction
(even if it meant subjection or rejection!)

this was his fate at odds by an uneven gate
broken belonged to the lock, though pigeons remained on top with a wailing gawk
superstitious anomalies affirmed vacant policies
none bearing the condition of a playable rendition
NOT TO MENTION:
this is what perplexed him the most
their sway held in
the everyday of her disarray , eager for aligned scenes
with multi-lingual tongues from the south and to the north of queens

if one could redeem a summary that is a recovery
of time spent, sleeping indifferences would allow transgressions the space to vent
his longing for the belonging of qualified amends
may lend to slanted cut pieces cuffed by enemies instead of friends

returning back to the neighborhood of playmates and athletic ends
meant being denied the sport and the elasticity which guaranteed material bends

the risk of being dismissed became the challenge accepted
as with a chaste and hardened heart, wisdom afforded the incumbent appeal, neglected
