Breaking News

Torrents of particulars

about catastrophes

about which nothing

can be done.

Wars are never won

but only kill themselves

into oblivion.

There is no answer

here, my dear.

Indiscretions of a Chase

Ah! – the indiscretions

of a chase!

Imagining there’s something

to be won in every race! --

believing that what passes by

means, by its passing,

it is better than what’s here --

inveterately classing,

by mere scarcity, the bits

you missed with value:

newness flitting through --

bidding you pursue. Shall you?

Of Three Minds

I’m of three minds, it said to me –

one which looks ahead to see

and two that don’t:  

Wish they would align. They won’t.
