you might be right

                          You may be right...  it may be true...
Here comes a healthy swath of them swelling the queue,
               frenetically anticipating an episode lurid and lewd...

              dangling from the Mortal Curlicue: a pillaged petal,
                                                                                                            withered and skeletal....
