to write of glory
or mystery
the conflict
vengeance
and reprieve
the sound of sleep
mercy and abstract law
again a man with a gun
opinions falter in grace's face
her satiated fate mottled by
s i n
current electric steals my strings
to play reaching hands
palms and story--the account of one woman
on one corner
in a city
somewhere
with air and soot in her lungs
optical hypocrisy--illusion democracy
affect sound
effect and get feet moving walking stomping and turning the ground
into protest
civil right
human right
a glorious stampede of reason--logic--education intelligentsia
loose tongues mark the direction
where crows fly
migrate difference
make it real
symbol and verse--closed path retreat backspace delete
appropriate words
dig into the earth
close your fist around it--raise it high
feel the cinema of our own drama
insipid insight
our radioed heads
uptight belief
vehement conviction
drop this s i n by the way side
nothing to die by
except ones sound (for good
stilted legs tread careful
extend hands to lift not to rift
and become impact
ill defined
complex
an altered arrangement of syntax
