“ Hush Money “

Hush money
being made
from slips
of the tongue
at outsized
amounts
for tight-lipped
hackers
at far more
than the usual
song-and-dance
rarely if ever
choreographed

while mirrors crack
during quarantining tactics
for nomadic off-houred catalysts
graphically sighing and rasping
ride-hailing on a large scale
for autonomous ride-sharers
lamenting staggering end details
having repeatedly beaten
extreme denominations of grief...
