i.
the pendulum is stuck
jammed up real good
rusted red
a shattered wooden shoe
a sabot
crushed in the gears
listen all y'all it's a sabotage
ii)
experience chart paper hangs
sun bleached
brittle
full of faded ink
faded ideas
iii)
wild turkeys watch
safe
across the long icy ditch
lone coyote walks away
slow and steady
through new snow
on his long lonely path
rabbits run
into the cedar thicket
iv)
F150 rumbles into the curve
black ice fish tails
tires shoot frozen gravel
crows scatter
fly into barren trees
land on a rusted out
Alice Chalmers tractor
