PARADING A NEW INTENSITY
I love the Palaeolithic pebbles that became the flowers
that were washed clean of family tears.
I watched the drummer boys calm the clouds.
A pack of dogs barked their way into the chalk of history.
Cate Blanchett took her renowned conductor across the sea.
A Sunday school army marched into its own fruitless Bull Run.
I called for Lassie to free all the coal miners from their bottomless pit.
My paperback copies of Whitman and Thoreau
sit in the center of a dying social revolution.
A swarm of bees have taken Technicolor to a new intensity.
