TRANSPRAIRIE

Please step away from the scene

nothing to be here

It follows that the primary unit of poetry

in flatland is the line

We have arrived: world class in our way –

our way is lost: we like it Rich, standby

The dreams you don’t know you know

and the dreams you know all too well

You are tranced

I am incidental

But in which kind of poetry

do we place our dead dreams?
