The Paragon

ended the tape.

Everything still feels

heavy.

But she knows

it's never too late,

To swindle

on the enemy.

CLXX

The snowing stopped

this very day,

Yet the chill

still crept up her spine.

And there still comes

gifts and boquets,

For that tragedy

way past nine.

CLXXI

Has the Paragon

concluded?

Has she figured it

all out then?

Who's guilty

to be arrested?

And who was safe

in the playpen?

CLXXII

There were truths

and such alibis.

Somehow she knew

she fell for both.

Where one girl

fell to a goodbye.

Recalling her onced

promised oath.

CLXXIII

So many lies

so little time,

It can get

confusing somehow.

So little truth

so many grimes,

Dear old Mary's

excited now.

CLXXIV

The pawn storm

is thus now over.

The waiting move

gets all intense.

There's no takeback

for still anger.

It's all endgame

for this suspense.
