this version of morgen
with a black sun
they're just like the new
clothes that I don
the threads in them
tho' small and unseen
they are worn
like bacteria that
are so small in their world
we have social identities
yet unfurled
embracing others like
we thought we knew
them so well
and we have not thought
about biblical characters
meeting at a well
just moderns, just pop and go,
like an item grab-and-go
tomorrow's striven for
which is now, to—night,
sundown til it's morrow
we believe everything's
for sale, a gasp of air
and landing by a plane
but they never greeted
each other up there
the embraceable you are
simply impossible, too,
believing these gauntlets
for twiggy, gaunt fingers
just retracing silhouettes
and so we blamed these
many eclipses in our skies
the gloomy, misty memories
like the cries (the crises),
for any loved one who dies
flipping coins could never
be anything,
but just be like retaining
a copy on this day that we
say sorry
as an abstract like 1+1 equals
there is never a ghost story
and occult leaders do not
worship any sinister deity
no wrong assumptions
no truth to lies, in a behavioral
society
or was it just me
observing any other ritual
in the economy?
