Methods
of writing systematic poetry flow to the end of lines
only
reluctantly like sparrows recalled south
through
storms reluctant too
they
must leave the confines of peaceful high pressure
where
the loftiest clouds do not enter
until
the end of time
when
sunlight reached its zenith to fall beyond August
as
the world's warming to 61.3 degrees
averaged
the highest on records
for
all of the cold was a memory
melting
memories too
waiting
for resharpening
like
the teeth of frostbite
when
toes unsecured in warm wool socks
rattle
around boots like dice in a cup
as
bets are placed on the human race's intellectual capabilities
to
place superconducting battery powered robotic dogs on cold planets
where
there are no mad dogs or Englishmen in a noon day sun
for
systematic poetry to note in blank verse
filled
in before the rise of the terminator line in the New Year.
