Taking Stock

Taking stock
To rewrite and edit
What makes things better
Like ticking tables
What makes things stay
Some things star
Some things start right up

Toggling between
Inventory
Making marking marks
Collecting flock
Checking box

There is permeation
In so much as
There is so much
To get in between
And so little to
Get into

Small labels
For corners and tops
Stacks and limits
Pin locks and stops

Slight permutations

Trying to hush a loud knock
An irregular proxy
For clicking clocks

stations
Separating sermons
from mongrel meat
Lest we beast
like carrion

Sharing bits
Like this
Allows
the news to come through
in spits
To spin out hits
It's weaving now
In spurts
Through slits
Until it splits
