R/ckets and S/ntries

prurient industry
dictates the address
pressgang synthesis
while betterment society
outdoes its program

every frame rages
with the practical
as unity seeming
bucks the tide
and the arid edge
collects its pay

pointed ravelling
dips sooner into the
gambit and train of thought
as one and all look up
to the romantic sky
and its buttery
closing

this is the said politic
tried and gained
