6141. THE FULFILLMENT OF MODERNITY

THE FULFILLMENT 

OF MODERNITY

Well OK, yes, you can be that : high-wire act, failed friend, 

future mentor, distinctive bud. I'll watch the act develop.

The monkey you pulled out of that hat, I thought was

supposed to be a rabbit; but that's OK. However, it was

underneath that kerchief, was it, that lamb you unveiled?

I didn't get that at all  -  looking for a dove instead. I'm

not good with all these symbols, but what are you

trying to do? The bull on the altar it disappears?

The way the fire lights the bush, the enflamed tar,

the connection with incense, all that, I'm still

learning. my mind is as tarnished as that ancient

chalice you pretend to drink from.

-

Now there's a rocket to Mars testing soil on a rock  - 

catching asteroids as they fly through space. Some

cowboy song, I bet, is already written about that

chase  -  'get along little doggie, get along'?

-

Every Golden Book has a tear at the ending  -  that

magnificent princess on page 11, but page 26 is

both crippled and numb. This is just how it as.

All things are now so very sad. The fulfillment

of modernity is all we've ever had.
