The In-Conspicuous<\/h2>\n

by Peter Magliocco<\/p>\n

is where the branch disappears
\nsighing over u
\nCrackling just before false dawn
\nthe prophet tweets from
\nIn portents of dementia
\nWringing out the masses
\nfrom hollow sleep
\nChilling the water till
\nDead flowers keep
\nmad travelers trampling
\nwith scooters of exhaust fallowing<\/p>\n

we salute, simmering.
\nThe wait for no one
\nin light fading:
\nDrums come rolling
\nBeaten in vast deafness
\nbeaten still,<\/p>\n

The In-conspicuous walk into
\na room of your own,
\ndeclaring war on little beings
\nspeaking just one language \u2013
\nbleating only one song,
\nbelieving in only one god
\ninviting you to Hop hip-texting<\/p>\n

& preening over your soiling spirits’
\ncacophonous ranting, these
\nPixel-buds in our silicon valley<\/p>\n

With lowlife dwindle \u2013
\n& only the invisible fallen leaves
\nIn lime burning untimely bush
\nwill reach false heaven<\/p>\n
