Arbitrary Symbols 2035
Such a lame ‘Read-all-about-it...’.
The news-boy wears high fashion
red garters,
corduroy breeches and
a second-hand
top hat
Stars
peep on through.
Come Sundays – he
pockets
small change,
feeds
absent-minded pigeons
and dreams
of shy
Black-eyed
Susans
stealing
the show.
The whole
of it.
Chain Lightning
Hard facts sleep softly
if you let them –,
like grey shepherds
in The Good Book
before conjecture...
Such occurrences
the mind keeps
to itself:
its
humming self.
