POEM: "You Will Feel Something"

You Will Feel Something


You will feel something vibrating
in the inside pocket of your jacket
on the inside but you were warned
pockets turn to turn themselves out
not very different from the heart

four-and-twenty travel plans upset
but wait you aren’t there anymore
floating down a busy ancient street
the silent moon twists a few degrees
you greet a few old graceless trees

lakeside crows watch the accountants
fledgings peck the eyes of the world
you greet a few old graceless trees
the silent moon twists a few degrees
floating down a busy ancient street

your plans wait high on the high plains
the moon pulses strong with blood
you drift the streets one cinema to the next
but wait you aren't there anymore
four-and-twenty travel plans upset

not very different from the heart
pockets turn to turn themselves out
on the inside but you were warned
in the inside pocket of your jacket
you will feel something vibrating.
