the sky was pale modestblue this early afternoon

dull clouds crowded its southern lip cresting the brown hills tufted  smoky   undecided if they wanted to exist or disintegrate fade from soft vapour into nothingness

how could anything dare be so ambivalent about becoming nothing

1238hrs

There we go! a kind of commitment a couple clouds shookfreecrawled on their bellies to the edge of the hills and pushed up on their armsgathered themselves fleshed out and billowed white billowed like pirate seasails Indian plumes Peter Pan the croc ticking munching at a hillocks crotch obviously pleased  tasty  spittle at its chin drool at the corners of its grinning jaws its tongue happy lolling loosely lashingslapping its teeth

                                                                           he was jealous

he wanted one too

                        or two

clouds stood off in the red west

gawkers

who feel somethings cominggoing down an they cant waitimpatient anxious to be there and look

theyd get close but not nearenough to get soiled or splashed by the trouble that befell some poor clown sorry soul some respecthuh

They look like they’re expecting something.

They do They look anxiousshifting their feet but they dont seem intent on moving forward

Yes. In no particular hurry.

Hear them say theyll cop theyre being patient

Patient my ass

Unnerved

When condensation fears we ought to pay sharp attention

1443hrs

as the skies began to purple like bruises rising he saw the clouds were afootbeing sneaky

they were creeping closerkeeping low probably moving in a crouch

coming up on hillspeeked over them like points scouts  whawas ahead of them was need-to-know priority

they came furtively awkwardly children bad at a game of hide n seek

terribly bad

caught peeking

an caught they refused to break eyecontact asif he wasnt there looking directly at them

they feigned He’s not there. yet remained wideeyed  

then they sankdeflated shrunk out of sight behind the ridge 

                                                                but not so deep that he couldnt see the tops of their head

Love it or leave it hmm he was old enough to remember the chantsthe exact same notion  sentiments  expressed during the Vietnam War 

                   Love It or Leave It! made him want to puke

apparently under the guise of five bonespur deferments Drumpf really likes America  adds to an earlier posted refrain  Shit dont change

Dylan Thomas
                        remember

“Dead men naked they shall be one/With the man in the wind and the west moon;/When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,/They shall have stars at elbow and foot;/Though they go mad they shall be sane,/Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;/Though lovers be lost love shall not;/And death shall have no dominion.”

            death shall have no dominion  no domination    poetic

an poetry  all forms of art  thrive in the eye of the beholder in the minds eye                                                                                                                       

Though

he loved the succession of Dylans Thoughs

Though 

while death cannot render us completely 

neither can life

                an by  life shall have no dominion   

a pervasive razors edge runs at  an between life and death a wicked redlipped smiling  a gaudier demarcation than might be thought 

                  an sometimes theres a fusion a bleeding  lifedeath deathlife  a sliver separating dimensions  dominions

not one without the other

                              without one there is not an other

yes  he played he danced he flipped coins tossed them at curbs an walls an threw dice

he gambled

never went all-in

never came home without a cent

                                  without sense

Though  

         he did say he liked the word

Thomas' poetry set him up for Shelleys Frankenstein

Shit dont change

as Kendrick Lamar sang in Institutionalized: “Shit don’t change, nigger . . till you get up an wash your ass . .”

Drumpf  squirrelly on the rails tweets: “So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, (nawh wait a sec . . he was damn sure three of the four women were born in America), the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all) (Careful Donnyboy careful  someone might mistake those countries for this country), now loudly . . . .
