12:30
Curtain call, closing toll
Through-running river,
Cooling, soothing morning mildew
Grey new hue
2:02 and blacker-blue
Shadow of night blanketing all-
on one half of Earth’s tilting curves,
“Run from the sun like Dracula,”
Deserved comatose insomniac;
Pretty pre-dawn
Beautiful obscured, buried alive all-along,
Daytime action blurring—
Dreaming, sleepwalking,
alert without lust
Solar husk, tin rust
“All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
Brightest star is the fastest,
slickest serpent to fall
Destitute, disturbia miscalculating Apollo fireball
Suburban oddball delights;
Fading gifted disease of the mind,
Faltering dull dementia, stalling—
Peter Pan playing against time,
A dozen in a dime
