CARDBOARD MONOLITHS & ORIGAMI FRUIT

its low-hanging 

easy-picking

origami fruit

&

cardboard monoliths

from the motherboard

to the sea

cant move out there

cant think out there

for strawmen pop-ups 

& paper tigers prowl

in a back-foot smokescreen

& a crusaders pose

soon 

wont 

fit 

graphene

tween 

the  

clog of it all

SOME BACKSTEP OBSERVATIONS

in the almost 

almost 

spring-fresh air

crows call 

intelligent & coded instruction

from the tv lines

& heavy leaves clog in the grate

~

the cement is darker  

like its been coloured in

& the chairs drip
drip drip drip

& bird seed sprouts in the feeders

FRAG 25

i like the sound
of those first drops
when we all look up
to confirm the source

it will puddle on the water butt
& feed the moss there
& nourish the seeds sprouting
inside the bird feeders clog
