Froth
           by Odin Roark

Come
Be my operator
Me your camera

Medium shot
Lower Manhattan sidewalk café
He in Armani suit accented with Ferragamo tie
She with Jimmy Choo and Prada outfit
Both with Latté and croissant

Low angle
Bottom of refuse chute
Zooming up through...

Crab Froth

      Smashed crab, in corn soup.
       Just grab with tiny pieces
        of green chili soaked
         in vinegar to...

Funny watching biblical scholars predicting our end
scouring over holy words 
sprinkling in some good old fashioned arithmetic..
Then out they poop it-their doomsday baby
they proudly announce it to the universe
the end date our final breath..
when karma eats karma.
 
The magic date passes..again
the sheep and peons turn...

He showed her around his studio
An artist’s working place
Then he took her hand
Looked her in the face
He said I don’t wish to trouble you

Bubbling with laughter…..
The blissful profile, 
Scrutinizing the milieu…..
Oh! The wondrous optimism !

And here am I,

exposing the filth of man-unkind
one year later -still standing in our corners.

the Xi virus-whirling in the middle
making red froth with his favorite pawns....

Acrid smoke in the scientist’s bell jar
Blankets of chenille-covered snow
Crystalline carbon diamond star
Drips forming stalactites grow
Effervescent waterfalls’ dreams
Frothy-topped cappuccinos 
Gelid surfaces of lakes and streams
Halos of angels in holy repose 
Icebergs splitting from their source 
Jasmine-covered pergolas in Spring
Knuckles clenched in fear or remorse
Love’s purest...

SCORES OF SORES AND SORRY POURS

ALL FILLED, BOTH UP AND OUT

TO BALANCE SCALES OF EMPTY PAGES

TIPPED FROM BOTTLED BOTTOMS END

POURED FROM MOUTH TO SPOUT.

TIMELESS AGES TALLIES MADE 

HALF EMPTY BY OUR FOOL

PAGES STAID AND TURNING LAID 

WHILE DRAUGHT OF DROP-LESS DRINK

IS SAVORED COOL.

DESTINY OF MAN...
