The River

Sure
We say we  -- understand

||

( why not ? )

////

Little child sleeps out in the rain

OUR drone airplanes

Rock her to sleep

///

We

Are here somewhere within the mutilated story

We are the ****** within the pageantry

We whip ourselves !

We are both over-seers And slaves !

///

We say we are seeking love but we do not even Notice each other  ! ! !

The child dies in the night

We were dancing drunk at the bar

We went home and read Zen poetry

///

We are our own stories

It's time to stop reading

It's time -- to write
