Literalness of the Prairie
Literalness Of The Prairie
Those that cannot remember the past -
are often run over by it for nothing lasts.
The truck may
Be driven
By a unicorn.
Even ignorance
on some day will lapses.
There is always a dead Greek philosopher
to tell you the river
you soak your feet in
is always different.
As a honey badger
Finds His way
Inside The refrigerator
Where you let
Your images cool.
Link sausage chants within the pan
The lines of kings
The dream
Was sleek
A machine
That spilled
Poems
On the mercats
Below in the footnotes
Reconstruct the lines
& scurry like the edge
of self-fulfilling prophecies.
Just storms of mercy forms
damp hyphens
& ampersands
combine the trouble couplets
And beat of stanzas over Kansas
& Find their way back-
From the literalness of the prairie
