the hours of operation,...(structured restrictions)

the hours of operation
come into play
unannounced
after minor explosions
scatter debris into the hot, black sea.
these restrictions stretch dog collar
tightness 'round the neck
of unsuspecting humans.
commerce begins to slow down
as structured hours stack upon
each other like small building blocks.
these Lego's (to small children)
remain posted,
alone & solitary
in breezeways of small subsidiary links,
warnings to gullible patrons
like a wanted fugitive's glamour shot.
the hours of operation,.....
oh the glorious mountain to climb,
to waste units of time,
to debate, to tell, to shine!
moods change creating
anxious moments
during the hours of operation.
mila-tree generals bomb
unsuspecting rogues
& acquire a platoon of ideas
in an endless tussle during
the hours of operation.
legalistic doormen to
shallow night clubs
structure their restrictions like an
electromagnetic "No" acting
as a pointed prong
to a herd of cattle.
as you see, the hours of operation
never cease to exist.
these medial ideas create
systematic book ends,
sort of a means to an end
to living, breathing, dying & trying,....
