Circus Act 334



















 Scaving like a carvy rat
sleeting in the byway
careening in a critter curve 


 
skittled o'er skywise

Gerfenherders on rampaging 
textes over keys
slendered along the skittering
crevices of locksmiths

 With enterprises relocating 
for precious gems and stones
boundless ascertaining when their 
accrued polarity emerges

 Adjustant to a proletariat
tip-toed along a tight rope
skippy skipping tea
hee-haw mistress on the flow

 Down for a knuckle on a knee
and two for the show to start
eight to get married apart
one in a sudden disaster

 Five to go to court
for a divorce in the snow 
six to hold against them
in the midst of laughter

 For the rest of these lives
seven to stand ahead of them
while looking for new chapters
seven and a half on the circumstance

 Upon which this condition drives
and eight through ten watched the nine
see it happen all over again
the carousel's turning not

 Clockwise nor sounding
may keep up with its singular
ringing starbound cry
toward a pathway carved

 Next to all the rest left behind
as fossilized tracers of ions lit up
the echoes of everything
 else picked it up

 On the sonar so as not to
speak of its traveling faster
now since leaving the course
 of the rocks laid out on the sand

 Along the river way of warrens
babbling over stones without
a thought for the occurrence 
being picked up by drones
