feet move in directions,
blood moves in prepositions:
across
through
in
between
more exact than its servants
but the gossamer of electric wire that lives
in the brain is responsible
for the bulk of the language,
presiding over the putt putt of a million motorized things
and the business they carry
maybe eventually it becomes its own poison
it's not so different, after all
it can claim
dominion over a far greater
and vast thing
over a thing
perhaps too disinterested
or
too bent on its own survival
to make its true weight felt.
