Not Quite Done
Hell, I knew Winter
wasn’t quite done with us, just
yet, still had some low
temperatures to
dole out, yet, some icy, sting-
ing sleet, some slipp’ry,
treacherous streets to
undermine our sure footing
and automotive
traction around town,
still just a bit more of that
seasonally a-
ffective psy-opps stuff –
makin’ sure - we don’t go and
get too big on him.
Either Way, Not Much is Happening
This would appear to
be just another random
snapshot or off-the-
cuff still-life study
or grainy security
cam footage, even,
of just one more name-
less intersection somewhere
in America,
mid-winter, maybe,
three or four in the morning,
and for all we can
see, it could be in
the old warehouse district of
a big city or
the heart of a small
town, if we could just pull back
the boarders and zoom
out a little, but
we can’t, because this is old
school / retro, so to
speak, almost what they
used to call “found,” and that all
means, at the very
least, that this is what
you get and answers may be
slow in the coming.
This Frigid December Night
The moon appears so
brittle and fragile on this
frigid December
night that the slightest sharp sound
just might cause it to crack like
a bone china dinner plate.
