A deliberate passage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Said slowly they make
\nthe kind of sense
\nthat has us hanging
\nonto every word. Other-
\nwise there is too much
\notherwise. Other things
\ndo not run this way.
\nContrails mean only
\nthat a jet has passed
\ntoo high for the eye
\nto isolate & far too
\nfast to be anything but
\nan underline waiting
\nfor words to be written
\nover it. Hung out to
\ndry. If written slowly
\nthey do not hang the
\nway they should, dis-
\nlodged by the wind
\nbefore properly formed.
\nMake no sense. & we
\nhang on to none of them.<\/p>\n

Circus economies<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there were other
\nentrances to the cage
\nof the dancing bears
\nI might not have to
\nalways climb sideways
\ninto this cannon & be
\nfired in an elliptical arc
\ntowards the trapeze<\/p>\n

while the band plays
\nBring on the Clowns &
\nthe icebergs melt nowhere
\nnear fast enough to pro-
\nvide a pool sufficiently
\ndeep to land safely in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The succulent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if the same things
\nseem to keep on
\nhappening over & over
\nthere are differences
\nto them. Perhaps the
\nlight, or the track
\ncurrently playing, or
\nthe way the flowers<\/p>\n

at the ends of the stalks
\nof the succulent in the
\nhanging basket outside
\nthe window are losing
\ntheir color as the life
\ndrains away from them.<\/p>\n
