watching the charts
across the chart a shiver,
a scarlet slash
a scaffold hung
with screaming points
and seismic calculations
a sierra, a knife, a saw,
a fevered twitching dream
a nausea, a relentless itch
a curiosity became a meal
that turned to spoilage
a dented can of potted meat
and vegetables
a double helix coil of wire
rusty barbed invisible
behind the hedges the roses
the trickling dreams
a bolt that shakes
the steeple
flays assumptions
the skin peeled back
it's a tapestry of vapor
math and sophistry
a marketplace fight, a scramble
to disassemble ancient molecules
and policies carefully placed
and overfed with privileged calories
and dread not bread but dough
the folding kind of green
shall we walk
along the cliff top
and watch the waves
dissolve the coral
or jog down to the shore
and build a raft of plastic bottles
