I might happily have thrived at another crossroads
Painting in oils in neoplatonic archness. A white zinc
To follow a flightpath out /
A green thumb trying to paint and cover
A big space with dabs of marine titanium that dilate
Blurring the root truth of good-faith setbacks for an hour —
A genocidal collage of screens, diversions
Rocking to agitated waves, reproached, converged
In drumming opinions and science-y, practices —
How the world is!
Climbing off the board with no fears —
Holy Albert Hirschman!
