dandies rollick underfoot
a step, atop the porch I sit
pondering, wander, wonder
soon, soon dusk lets down its heavy blanket
on the sky,
dimly soothing, frantically fading
chubby grubby hands ambling,
the children meandering back
from the dripping living woods
frogs from bogs
upturning spacious housing logs
they look up at me with dark bright eyes,
trusting innocence?
- Across the field the llamas stare right back
high and sweet
melodic voices chipper, crowd
bring me back
smiling, invisibly, a warm wet tear slips out
and blends incognito with the taxing:
sweet sweat, down the furtive brow
a second splits
the horror hits
soon one day soon
their naivety will be shattered, raped, split, slit
eaten up, processed. inevitably
by the churning turning world
Its hungry gut
splendidly huge
awesomely fraudulent
my contributions keep the checks in sway
the delicate balance
eventually. making me
a better wetter lay
