    can a marionette
    get bored of dancing?
    wouldn't you much rather
    be suspended
    from the strings
    of some wayward kite
    headed for the river bank
    at the edge of
    some other
    better world?
    who first thought
    to conceal
    the pillowing folds of flesh
    beneath the
    billowing cotton of a shirt?
    who first discovered
    where water went
    when left to fend for itself
    in the light?
    why is it that
    catastrophy comes nightly
    on silent wings
    then careens into
    the brilliance of the day
    atop the clattering boxcars
    of some
    shimmering
    screaming train?
    how can i keep declining
    its invitation
    into the infinite?
    weaving webs of violent passion
    in the corners god forgets to sweep,
    kitestrings and puppet strings
    create a life of their own invention-
    behind the tedious
    three dimensional design,
    have you seen?
    between wreathes of galaxies
    that will forever endure,
    where do the spaniards
    and soviets wait
    to seduce us?
    could anyone point me
    in the direction du jour?

    I really liked this too!! I like the marionette, the kite,
    "pillowing folds of flesh/beneath the/billowing cotton of a shirt" and so on....
