Cosmic, Enigmatic
Seemingly some kind of Message to
All and sundry about:
The colossal crimson sun imperceptibly sinks over the horizon,
Sinks beyond the road here, over the park in the
Debilitating, gritty summer heat.
Nearby, a huge silent hairy golden dragonfly,
As large as a fully grown man's hand,
Unexpectedly swings down from above.
The dragonfly hovers for a moment,
Then effortlessly, closely paces a car suddenly passing by,
One filled with aching sore-tired workmen.
They are oblivious to
The mute insect "spy" outside the car's windows,
Just as they are now oblivious to all:
Exhausted, the men have done their workaday work well.
Then just as suddenly as the dragonfly first appeared,
It shoots straight upward,
Disappearing.
