the usual thing - another poem for today

the usual thing

 

daylight accompanies woodpecker noise through cracked-open windows clearly sharply across fields and meadows where horses later shake their manes against rising day

 

disintegrating selves position on ramparts sieging every particular of individual identity as wind rustles tall prairie grasses whistling slightly in passing

 

day deteriorates    human noise abides  aerial     highway

interference like radio static    it coping-saws time to fit

erstwhile pilgrim activity    amidst see-sawing snow falling

 

technically abandoned      left to rot       like a Studebaker in rain       rust and mildew and vegetation     whipsaw the proceedings       investing      wreck with abandon  

    

a    stage     five      disaster  area      freeforms     explosively         uneven         tottering      tragedies

of form        stop time fallen         hysteria      blooms

 

not       wish           glaring           vagrant         flagrant  indifferent              unnatural           weasel like            nothingnesses             drift
