Times like these long for me
And I them
Where are the infants
Aghast by wood blocks and Legos?
Yearning ancient elephants
Wandering Oakland’s Madagascar
Large enough for smaller times
Grander eras hung awaiting
A pontoon wavering
Atop undiscriminating seas
Grander Eras.
How seas provide current
Twelve-eyed prophets
Ringing ears
Dens of thieves and books of lies wearing purple
Angry felines gnawing scruffs
Sleeping stories of living untold
Drowning
The sea calls a name
Undiscriminating
Grander Eras I heard.
