12,258. PESTILENTIAL FOOT PATROL

PESTILENTIAL FOOT PATROL
At some point, you know it, they
shall come  -  arriving like forest
bears broke from a circus leash. 
Monkeys in a carnival brew. Wild 
nuns at a Pope's parade. The crazy 
matter always rises from the bottom. 
We get no sleep.
-
Of course, the sainted river continues
its way  -  the manner of grace, the
twist of water and ice beneath cold
blue sky. I cannot say much more
to you over such things. I've left
my lentil soup steeping on the
kitchen stove.
