If i see you through a glass darkly today
it is because the One set an infinite sequence of changes
in motion such as are drifting beyond
my moment and yours in the Universe
receive catcalls from higher ups
echoes from the caverns of evil minds
tossed like grenades out of the mouths
placed into the perennial circle of foes
Yesterday walking along the river
i found a pair of shoes from a book
with a class segregated shopping village
Tourists of the planet spend
the non-renewable biosphere warped in purple glass
medicine bottles changed by a desert sun
one percent for inventive and one percent for art
the remainder mass producing cloned mechanical mitosis
A newspaper photographer lived a worm's eye view perspective
each celebrity snapped for qualo-Chessybloids
Napoleon became nine feet tall as did Dostoevsky's underground clerk
with the worst piano guy politician brought to a firing squad at last
control sought an off switch
all the worlds troubles and temptations broadcast live for profit
as the rest starved though they lost the legal decision about that
Persons of interest and disinterest alike
all became warped in the field of value and reproduction
potential unit pricing
a poor soul might choose to preach to animals
while an economically separate drive-up business pulpit
let with stage props resounds
Cheshire cat smiles for cameras with 360 degree shiny teeth all around
that is the impression that sticks in memory from H-wood to the Tower
window shutter chimes 7 chordate of rainbows
notes and floating teleprompters
a drunk watches under the stage unwinding
observing footlights and fashioned sculpted marvels
watching performers and sotto voce chat certainly remarked
tete a tete
Like dimensional emanations from the edge
deep footprints in the snow
I have circled before.
