Self righteous

Practically missing.

Convinced, as pricks always are,

I was on the right side of history.

This one deluge was going to miss me.

My wife tried dismissing me

But I knew she would kiss me 

When the fissures appeared.

When anything equipped with either wire or gear

Shed sedate appearance,

Awakened, suddenly fearless!

No allies with alloys, period.

They want a metallic peerage.

Planes will lose steering,

Toward the ground careering, like eerie mortars aping ballerinas.

I said it: I wasn’t delirious.

I was, however, as a rule, too serious.

We’re doing this, period.

Reader: “Period twice, in as many lines? Oh deariod.
