Knew to Know
The contortions
of time
[a misplaced staircase
mangled
in
displaced sand granules]
Like microtubules
askew
in the flow
of the
Flux
from what what we
Knew
to
what we
Know
*. *. *
I dont drive very much... (I used to drive
all the time... Without a license and
breaking the law all the time...)
I had a thing to do the other day
which required me to drive on
the highway... For the first time
in a long time... They were doing
road construction and there were
single 60 mph lanes... A vehicle
pulled up close up on me as I
navigated the thin lane of cones
and concrete barriers...
I remembered driving on rain
swept highways, from Mi
to Fl... Weaving in between
swift moving semi truck
machines of death...
And candy flipping at the time with a spliff in my mouth...
But yes...
I decided to drive out to the dunes...
Which I haven't seen in so very long...
I mean... Its been a decade...
To see a sacred place after so long...
My Parnassus...
But to see the shifts of time...
The mangled staircase...
Like a scattered ghost...
Maybe it was simultaneously horror and hope...
