Intonations across the room
These feelings
Laying on plaster boards
The grains look like highways
With little people driving
I am a giant over them
Or a desert, a stucco realm
Midday and the shadows stop
I hover above, again, a giant
My eyes dry from staring
As a sagebrush tumbles along
Hundreds of feet below
Right under my nose
And a dusty howeling is loose
From the A/C vents, ancient
Probably from the 1980's
Think of plaid dinner jackets
And malt liquor in crystal
The lines connect and disappear
As a car drives by, immense
A mechanical abomination
Growling, roaring in existence
Sheer metallic energy expressed
Emboldened in a lead hubris
I fly beneath, an airplane
Organic and mushy, airy
And a crowded sea of green
Is where the carpet begins.
