14,208. HALF AN ANGLE

HALF AN ANGLE
(the logger)
Being still an angle, half an
angle gets yet considered an
angle. Shades of truth and
malediction too. I can accept
all that in pieces, and my book
is open to all outsiders.
-
I listen to the tall man talking;
little he says is addressed to me,
yet more than that makes little
sense. An empty bucket rattles
the most? No, actually that
can't be.
-
I watch him light a cigarette.
Yes, sometimes that still happens,
people doing that, as rare as it is
these days. He sits by the trunk
of his ladened auto. That trunk
being open, he keeps his chain
saws within.
