Sonnet: Spontaneous Separations
Mixed together and held in abeyance, jostling emotions
mind their tilt and twist boundaries until, going their own
ways, moving across irreversibility lines, they acquire new
properties, losing more and more electrons as they travel on.
Green-blooded and blue-tailed skinks now restricted to
xeric uplands, barring major accidents or electrical inter-
actions. Milk droplets pouring from a cystral chalice,
acquiring different charges, abandoning all hope to enter.
Shaken out into a taxi or limo, sand artists carry with them
their mandalas and mudras. Static prevents our reception
of previous messages, whether blue or red. If public opin-
ion mattered, if it influenced policy, then stealth aircraft
would be much less important, with scattered and temporary
exceptions, now that our tribal balloon has descended.
