13,691. SACRED SPACE IN A MISERABLE HALLWAY

SACRED SPACE IN 
A MISERABLE HALLWAY
They're bringing in the sheaves again:
farmers in bib overalls, and the mighty
smelling tractor roars. Birds plane o'er
the empty field, while two rabbits run
the other way.
-
What's to be made of the everyday?
Fabric of a one-in-a-million life, or
merely another day? Polarity reigns.
The sun either shines or the darkness 
rules. Someone invented lights, but
only for fools.
-
I stand idle, watching; Plumes of
smoke rise up from John Deere 
while the pressures of acceleration 
flatten the high-top grass.
