ear to the tracks
the throb of another ghost train
an answer
screaming
hissing
a pantomime snake
slithering along a trapeze
in a costume of the question
Sophia Loren
an invasion closing in with an army of
drowned sardines
it may go around
or its cargo could be small and not that
dangerous
but that risk is for the passing of a comet
a great injunction
or the birth of a new universe with more empty seats on its
buses
call it back
back to the canneries
tomorrow is a new day with moon beams and ships
bouncing with chances
but today is
today
and the snake has started drinking.
