Summarized

  Push & Cheating


I can see the causes.
I can feel them.  I know
the touch of their influence.
And because of that I agree
to a collective response
toward those effects.  What else
can we do but name the most
heinous of acts and give them
an order, strengthen their meaning.

Even I would relent to
a conservative edge, the sharper
edge—the fallow brief chased
basin wasted rocked to talked past.
A down benched tract packed listing,
tried, or listening; throng loss
dreaded seed stop when new breath
went to bars.   Again, our see
thus ripped and healing, didn't
so many miles per hour?
