BOHEMIAN
Nomadic traipsing, against mass
oddly few but more than enough
some here
others there, made of
fir and hemlock, or palm, or oak
carbon-constructed light, titanium
beams holding up this, notion
of nation, but some rebel and
hang up the phone, dial tone
natural selection
a coterie of quirk squirts from
local hydrants, energy distilled
ciphers spill and puff, awareness
erupts twixt one and another one
all, but not many when lined up
share and spread the fare, free
from the grain, granite obstruction
switching off, tomes cracked open
stones, sticks, aesthetic fixed
less lasts longer, together
in action
sliding up avenues, writing down
avocados, strawberries, oranges
in the city, in the yard, tending
to hang loose, ready and nimble
tracing lines with pupils, all day
observing whole systems, watching
the everybody swim, with the current
media mentions social in socal
go now, bye, I’m moving
on and on
