Nuances: On April 12th, Moments Of Reflection

"But that things go round and again go round
"Has a rather classical sound."
---Wallace Stevens, "The Pleasures Of Mere Circulating"

 

 

Today. remember
FDR (who established
this industry), on
the anniversary (three
hundred tenth) of his death.

 

 

The assembly line
is so long that we do not
ever see what these
parts become . . . for what function . . .
and to what purpose, what world?

 

 

Headstones of workers,
who loved their work here, fill the
surrounding acres.
We are automated now---
saving space . . . grass . . . expenses . . .

 

 

This factory is
a model of efficient
planning. Warehouses
depend on us to provide
something for them to store? What?
