Recreational Vehicles

        ever seeking better
        when it's just right now.
        ever calculating
        digits leaking from our fingers
        spilling like ball bearings...

while shimmering of the birch,
restless coinage never lost a cent.

        always there may be delays
        collisions of intent,
        despite our hulking Hemi
        Lariat Super Duty
        we may find our dreams ripped open
        shattered beside highway.

while reeds beside the pond,
feathering the breeze,
gently shelter larvae of the dragonfly.

        our quantum cabaña
        fabricated homestead
        affording storylines of comfort
        hauled here with our Powerstroke
        will fill, one day, with dusted cobwebs,
        acrid urine of the rat.
        just as Chrysler's vacant lot
        concedes in web of cracks,
        sprouting hedgerows of the random weed.

while ever rustle leaves of birch
and with their many round fingers
perform piano on the wind

        Never missed a note.
