I’m conscious of freedom, how it
flares against brick, how it stirs.
Yellow backs of combatants, &
chain-gang commerce in armor,
mind-forged manacles scraped,
muscle-displays in time’s diaspora.
Lastly, they turn away from facts,
look instead at trunk-scissions,
leafy morasses, all over smalltown
America, steeples chased.
I’m conscious of this, of my own
yellow writing it down, seated.
