rages inside
until it overflows,
childishly, onto your hapless
victims

but his eyes are earthbound
and his words meander without

for the season
to turn cooler again
so we can wander together

a second bill of rights;

sat down
at the world's edge
surprised by the boredom,
a single, corrosive note of
beauty

the vocabulary

the clouds
will still author
their shadows on mountains
long after we've burned everything
away
