[ NaPo 2017 ] WARNING: EXPLOSIVES
The silence surrounding poets
is displaced with a single stanza
composed entirely of blanked space
Verse doesn't get any worse
than when not a solitary soul
has anything of worth to say
And what of ideas
strained from downpours
---each washout that floods
gutter and drain spout
in a watershed of thoughts
not entirely thought out
saved up for rainy day
in the barrel?
Here I am bringing the noise
using a forklift without a muffler
in a warehouse racking and stacking
powder kegs floor to the ceiling
with musing upon musing
that can't be contained for very long
and may go off at any moment
