THE END OF THE KIPPLE RIVER

( box says-
 'carbon neutral delivery'

but
its
all
cardboard and cellophane

and
   a diesel engine roars away )

           my new
          whatever -

     a moose fader  
   a nano claw  
    a hub opus

 its  some  piece  of  plastic

   just  another  piece  of  plastic

    it did  excite me
  with  its potential

    until it flopped on the door mat
       in the brown envelope rain

         and now its          too here
        too  sane

      at the end of the kipple river
        its  need  is washed away

   i am  in a forced retreat
    wearing  a given stare 

    i  dont even  want to open it
          anymore
