147

CABOTAGE

Pyramids of containers
Red and brown in the sun
Each of us does what we can
Shifting from one hip to the other
Brick and iron siding and wire
In with the wine grapes
The monorails and substairs
Consultants and dealers
Curiosity pulls you away
Straining to hold my neck up
The conversation nearby
As dead zones absorb the last
White mountain skyline
Bait foils leaving the sidewalk
The end of a process
Chlorophyll's acolytes
Superstation superstition
Placid and medical
The staying up for a nah
Auto pride day
Gives a grand trunk
The nervous break
Of town park
Private lackland
