Antipathy laid off (2014)

  

no mean reward for labours,

i will have no other

as injury to one is an injury to all,

and work its own reward,

writing being a chore

that employs common language

aimed for streams to catch their flaked

golden worthless grains

of solstice sunlight

in okie silos, pipelined vestibules,

into our bodies and cars

on dates

we dine, and on our scars we brag,

missions never accomplished

until our head

drops in the royal bucket

understanding consultations of war

as a drama with consequence,

subjects being citizens,

otherwise known as bleeding heart

livingpoems

whose comprehension escapes me,

as winter sun flies

toward a slack dismissal of fracking

leaving denton

in a future with no water but bottled antipathy

laid off 





2014
