The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for August 2012


a stop in
each time zone
on a
long flight
however
that works

full of
dread
out of
predictions
unable to
empty the
rattle-pan
               un-
willing to stop
working it
     [like a
     prospector
     hoping for
     another flake]

the bones
get thrown
again
at something
at the wall

the plane will
land again
and take off
again jumping
waiting
for eventual
events
          and all
the dust to
settle
