JUGGLING THIS PATRINOMY
The car keys on the wall tell me
nothing : Except that someone
hung them there, and on their
proper clip. Going nowhere is
still going fast?
-
Look back if you wish over the
14 ages of man: Count this one
as most costly, with fossil fuels
and trips to the moon and Mars
rovers-landers, and reports of
new doom. Sailboats are etched
in pottery now, like old explorers
on a patch of bare ocean.
-
I'm humbled by nothing except
humiliation; the dry-heaves in
a new sink of time. The old house
crumbles, and the new one whines.
I still read the Bible but skip lots
of pages; some of it now is so old -
I hate. Abraham, Esther, Enoch,
and all that.
-
Carvel once colored the ice-cream
flats, but now floaties and lattes
take care of all that. The whiz-bang
kids line up at Taco Bell but order
from Wendy's. Oh Hell, so what,
it's just across the way.
