Universe That Swallows Reason

Long silences drift 
Gaping the mind's wheelbarrow

Suddenly the stocks of tomorrow vanished
The bricks laid yesteryear were sagging 
In their muddy rut

Up ahead on the corner
Motorola rushes ransack the hospital 
Impatience at the check out counter
And an enveloping TV set

Some waiting has yet to be begun
At the bus terminal. busy heads are turning

The self-myself-our property 
Is dozing at some Dunkin Dounuts 
 
The JOB, so clearly defined
Is turning eyeballs narrow in their deceit 
And childhood senses are porched
Stilted at the school desk desire
