" Entangled "...

" Entangled "

Entangled
free-standing
from the grass
roots down
like it was
"pay dirt"

being struck
by absurdities
ever since
the beginning

painting mustaches
on everything
as just the thing

while defining
spasms of history
all finished
within one month
and one week

via old narrow windings
switchback after switchback
like pigtails at the best angle
for "Snap-chatters"
at the tips of branches

carefully blasted
when the food went bad
as rutted and craggy
improbable artifacts

during expedition travels
across wooden maps
on panhandles
filled with variables
of wide wing spans

yachts passing along hangnails of land
cormorants ripping through the air
well past the lockmaster...
