POEM: "Let There Be Junk"

Let There Be Junk

                              for Oliver Raw

To the true progress
The line in-and-out

A bee flies to the candle
A hand is upon the wheel

Let scattered indirection
Be your god's perfect lie

Every straight edge tries
A falling off to the side

Like a stamp lies in the atlas
The cat on top of the fridge

A glove on a snowbank
A sandal in the waves

All things lost someplace
Please let there be junk

That when it comes to us
We can relax & move fast.
