Clade Song 2

Performance Piece

In the atrium, dimly lit,
hosts choose sides, as painters
touch up the landscapes.

In the far corner, a few
deer, filthy with insides
different from ours,

but the same, incorporated
as we are, though wired
to nothing but minted force.

Equestrian Dream of a Flag-Pole Skater
