_ape a concealed verb

is _ape a concealed verb?
a demonstrative offense?
a habitual stain breeding shape - nothing?

if i say, “no,” a data rock will pulp my name
to prove how wrong;
if i say, “yes,” pale in light, i’ll go dark
and empty my fat wallet: a costing frame gone lean and bone.





populations of dust line my steering wheel
dust these fingertips
prints:
a smooth dna transfer ruined
by a sneeze.
