riders of the night
booms of inexplicability
had spattered velvet stars and shredded cloth all morning
despite the raised-brow
consternation of the smartest of overcoats and the darkest of hats
that startled drops of sweat
could devise in the presence of impending war, it was only th-
at night by the docks where
the cargo waited unknown and the ships floated above the water,
that one could think a thing between them
before any further dénouement under filigree refinery of silhouette;
the next morning the ship sat in the water, content to the
lapping red line,
waiting fast and moored under the single ribbon of exhaust
from the funnel f’ard;
but it is only later that water ranges continental across stepped and geologic
wave, under relentless rain,
that solitary lights lolling will make any sense at all;
and there were some
had ideas like a living-room on a pivot that housed raised cranes
but the cars drove through streets
like they owned them and the trucks travelled in straight trail
of their antecedents’ front headlights
and although buildings always pointed up, the propaganda usually
ended up on pink paper:
‘Me, drive ‘round something that is nothing, but something you think is something,
but is nothing …?’
