Like I need to study the history of business
He thought
Monkey business
Better off studying anthropology
Or something else that orbits the truth
At least then you get a faint glimmer
Of what a certain truth must look like
Through a tube
With a couple panes of glass
Go ahead and try to see that truth up close
Or worse yet
While you're standing on it
In it
Coffee sugar cheese
The blood pools in the palms
Only to spring up somewhere else
Film newsprint expose
Flour liquor tea
Dirty fingers
Soaked in oil
Olive linseed petrol
Neighbors reaching retirement age
Lending a hand
Maybe the favor will be returned
Before they die
Maybe not
Wood arranged to hold a roof
Substructure
Porch awning overhang
Lots of thinking faces
Arms crossed
Bundled materials
As raw as we'll ever see
Tarpaper fiberglass sheetrock
The brilliance of economy
Pushing a barrow
Into forever
A bountiful horizon
What is the peacefulness in difference?
Updating changing rearranging
Posting a post
Flooring a floor
Siding a side
There are thrash huts
With mishaps
But science has taken care
Of every wrong turn thus far
Turning birds from white to black
And moths from black to white
We have become spotted
Marked for a big change
Cataclysm extinction volatility
Our friends and neighbors
Updating the thrust
Balancing the weight
Renovating their entrance
