Unanchored - 11-12-2000

Morning fog to daydream mist
unanchored concentration
adrift on heat and radio waves.

Complacency squats
a leaden hood ornament
for the senses,
weighing heavy on mind
and accelerator pedal.

Seeds of disaster sown
an ancient farmer eyes the crop
readies his device for the harvest.

Angry bloodshot lights
glow rude awakenings,
stunted reveries shriek objection
dissention streaks the road.
Commuters play bumper tag
Ironic pillows expand.

The farmer counts his yield
while the unripe are consoled
by personal injury claims.
