Conspiracy (part II)

.. . . of all trades
master of destiny
he was white noise in a cacophony of clutter
virtually ignored
until he himself nicked the earth's face
with the keen of his razor touch

A knight of the Round Belly
oblivion was a destination each night
attained wickedly quick by hops in a can
reach for a Bud -
always there to help you when you need him

one night he need Bud more than normal
his boss tied Jack's shoelaces too taught
and he snapped

no one will ever understand his conspiracy complex
complicated, convoluted distortion
but these were the glasses he chose to see with
he came back after closing
and spilled the bosses wine

he drew the word:
Conspiracy
in the wine pool by his employer's torso

a burnt social security card,
driver's license
and last year's tax form
drinking up the last few sips of life-Chardoney

the Establishment erased him in a heartbeat
for taking what was not his to take
the Media pondered his militia leanings
saying a gun unfired is too much temptation
the Politicians used his exploits
to pass laws that made them heroes

no one mourned
no one understood
that Jack
had achieved Purpose
he had stopped the Conspiracy
of his own making
dead in its tracks

~ end ~
