What woke me heard what I heard:
that
the new age is… considerable,
dense as this achingly for-sake-
of-appearance
quarter-acre
of
green hurt and muscle-bound
planetary
charitable thrash: all
those foxhole
lifetimes spent rounding
up
to the nearest
me—
yet wading enough
between
most days,
somehow
the beforehand fit,
the
working cumulus pulse that fans out…
Unhappiness?
Well that
was
just not knowing what
to
do with the happiness we had.
There
was a lot it didn’t say,
but nothing is said to
everyone.
