Difficult Times Ahead
Hypocrisy sits shotgun on the drive
into the city. Traffic is light today.
The rhythmic ka-chunk of pavement-seams
strum their sad saga of dawn fading.
No words are exchanged.
No songs harmonized in agonizing duet.
The work computer sits, a snake on the desk,
awaiting its pounding--an uncoiling of poetry.
Task for today? Strong literary retorts
o’er the nature of Mary Oliver.
