Goingsong.


The rhythm of machines is not a rhyme:
Daily shovelsful of iterative
Spoonfed sunshine is alliterative
Living, well-lit passages through time

Resembling motion, resting counterfeit
On pallets of content, stamped, drop-shipped
Out pat. This sleep has dreams built into it.
But seams have burst & split & slipped
The batting loosens in this human ticking,
Traduced by all the pocket watches clicking.
& Lulled in murmured choreography,
Every hour hand glides the circuit,
Spins in concert with the sun, sticking
Each to each in grinning synchrony.
