Fraction Anthem

Bestow commotion, reclamatory leer, bravado currency---

*
The half-rubbed-off
bit of gold leaf on my
plastic watchface tells
me what time it is,,,

*
When I step close
to the rotting thing, a
dozen flies explode up
and out into a dozen
respective fugue-spirals,,,

*
Cotton sheets and pillow-
cases can get hot enough
in a commercial dryer
to burn your fingertips,,,

*
The gingko trees on
our block have fruited
into full green now
they wave and shimmy
they know we're moving
they're cutting us
no kind of slack,,,

*
Little use
that that
shirk was
due in no
small part:
