more and more of us are struck by lightning 
betrayed!
the effort to make random marks 
some have had heads read
all for a tumble from one month to next 
webs gathering on a whim 
stands your hair on end 
God made instruments of some 
which is to say the other way 
but never simply so 
it's like the rainbow 
stands in your shoes 
(you know the one I mean) 
I'm not even touching the sides 
stain on my fingers 
is all I can find 
day has us smeared on the slide
less and less of us 
look up to see 
what giant's eye peers in

ReplyDeletewhile I've been often
in the wrong place
at the wrong time
and now about the same
though well away from
the flash and cinders
what I first saw was
a hundred people
crowded into a small space
& maybe a mobile film crew
