new politics

photo by John Boyd (1865-1941)

let me be what i am

a fragment

changing ions

gross matter

and something indefatigable

i log in

to comment

on politics

i'm not in the back rooms

puffing cubans

i'm flying over icebergs

i brush against daisies

warble in maples

sit stonefaced

animal vegetable mineral

i've been all of it

on the rock and roll summit

of sisyphus

i stumble and get up

i do not merge with anything now

i touch i yield i move on
