🏛️.

If there ever is a final showdown, it will not be between two sides of a political, religious, or territorial dispute, but between Reason & Magical Thinking.

A Rilke by Jarrell.

"Valley of the Lardils"

1.
dream while the wheels are coming off
a wall of fire at the near horizon

dream that you reconnect
to one you really never knew
by accident in Switzerland

so much catching up to do

2.
when Progress came to a halt
they still called it Progress

they said this is still moving
it wasn't moving

while other changes afoot
we couldn't be bothered

to notice when they were small
began to bother us

3.
i wrote complicated books
for a complicated time
the fortunes of a poem
attest each silent airstrike

why is it so hard
just to keep up with staples?

a trail of metacarpals
from dappled sunlight into shade

Third Eye #8.
