wobbly wheel

with his wobbly wheel barrel rolling
lugging live batteries
electrical wires wrap themselves consuming him
leading away
from behind

sidewalks stop the city streets where he pauses
but his lights flash
pulsating from one to the other
a rolling holiday expressway

subway traffic crawls
pushing battery packs and strobe lights full

he’s alive discovering trash and flowers
each building a planetary juncture
or booming sunburst

when he rambles on by with his power cells
and firing wireworks
the sky parts
and he delivers colored lighting
to the mood
of the atmosphere

this is when streetlights reconfigure
his lit mobile sarcophagus

he is a traveling pyramid
like blowing sand storms
from the age of history
but still somehow
glowing lights
drum-rumble
for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
