In Record
 

babble    near light speed
conjugates the fractal
plumbing of
broken
politics.

Inside
a flower
safe from intent
bends
             around

this voice     in time.

Belief explodes
this swell desire,
a first love's name      smeared               over decades

while tomorrow's weather eludes
the possum's dream  ::  gray quorum.

Still
the rectangles
await               their people;

missed deadlines
gurgle                      beyond the reef.

I would     as leaf
                                   swirl down
                                                         & fly

o'er this month of Mondays
where   dazed   the human's
mistaken
for answering
machine
left blinking

mute               as practical math.
