from Report from the Trivedi Society, Vol. 1 No. 1
There are no resolutions,
only more crises coming on.
Amish Trivedi,
from
Spree
Out
of this latest calamity
what
of the red tip
mistaken
for
the
absence of a red tip
plastic glistening
unmistakable
for metal
It’s all about the finish
Then there was none
Out of two
The
cruiser arrives
on
time in all time zones
Akimbo or ablaze
Drop
the prop near the body
to
explain its small shape
Then
the chorus will find
fault
with the scene
how
there should have
been
a surrender
how
the spine couldn’t
bend
any further back
Can’t
fall down. Already
on
or below the ground
How
this path ends
without
ending in
what
you write
what
you build here
