THROUGH SMILE––A
LEAFY PARLANCE THROWN,
AS INVITATION, BREAKING NEAR THE EVEN ROUND RUNABOUTS
AND MOUNDS OF RUBBLE SOUNDING OFF COMMUNITAS
SO SO GOOD AND GAPPED OF PO PO POSITION––TA-DA!
NO THUNDER SPOKE, JUST NO!
NO THUNDER SPOKE NOR SPAKE NOR NEEDED TO,
BECAUSE,
PLAIN AND SIMPLE:
THAT’S JUST RUDE. SO LET’S INSTEAD
MOVE OUR BUTTS SIMPLY BUT SURELY
LIKE A NEEDLE THROUGH A HEADLINE’S EYE
TO WITNESS, TO RECORD, TO LIST, TO TRACE
MATERIAL CIRCUITRY, CIRCUITOUSLY
MAP ITS WINDS AND WHIM ITS MAPS
TO WHIMPER IN THE WHISP OF KNOWING THAT IT’S
NOT ALWAYS OF COMFORT TO BE THOUGHT INTO
A COUNTRY’S CANCELED COUNCILS,
UNFED OR ALL PROVINCIAL,
SO IT’S BEST TO SING AND SEW THOSE SULKS
OF JOURNEYED RETURNS
FROM ME TO YOU TO US IN FEAR AND FAIRNESS
OF WRITTEN WITNESS WRITING OF AND AS
BUILDING YET BREAKING BORDERS
TO TRAVERSE TOMORROW TODAY,
LISTENING TO FEED THE LOOP BACK,
AS INVITATION, AS RIOT, AND AS LOOT.
