In-Flight Convergence
by Michael R. Burch
serene, almost angelic
the lights of the city extend
over lumbering behemoths
shrilly screeching displeasure
they say:
that nothing is certain
that nothing man dreams or ordains
long endures his command
here the streetlights that flicker
and those blazing steadfast
seem one from a distance
descend?
they abruptly
part ways
so that nothing is one
which at times does not suddenly blend
into garish insignificance
in the familiar alleyways
in the white neon flash
and the billboards of convenience
and man seems the afterthought of his own brilliance
as we thunder down the enlightened runways

advertising pays
very well
if you've an excellent
product to sell
you won't believe
the turn over you'll obtain
when posting an ad
on your pages plain
advertising is where its at
on letting the public know
about a bowler hat
Marks and Spencer
have the latest range
on their London stores
display mat
were it not for free to air television
and billboards on the street
we'd be unaware of an Aspire brand
of cotton sheet
advertising reaches
potential customers
looking for wares
who'll be wanting
to purchase
a variety of hares

Words came out like a half miles of unheard words to the English language. The real reason she was so unheard of was because like her she was such a rare sight. But she's not the kind of art presented in some studio. She's the kind of art thats scribbled on side of buses, train carts, and on top of buildings because she was all I wanted to present to the world the true raw beauty of her. As if she wasn't already wanted for stealing my heart she was wanted for being scribbled upon the walls. It soon she would disappear as if she never existed until she bcame scribbled with cans upon the walls of the city thousand times more in many forms.

i wrote about you on the tallest billboards
screamed your name from every rooftop
in hope someone would hear me
i sand your name in every song i wrote
singing the words of heartbreak and lust
in the melodies intertwined
the words spilled out of me like
water in a cup
making the soles of my shoes wet with tangled words
of poetry
i uttered your name until my throat was hoarse
scratched with the letters that spell out your name
so beautifully
letters that make something so simple
into something so melancholy
