FIRE BURNS






fire burns holes in the socks of logic
chars the shoes of pedestrian thought
on the sidewalks of routine policemen plod
dreaming of arrested growth

flames of fury fanned by impatience
blacken the sides of daily habit
and on the jagged shore the ocean roars
hungry for the sands of time

forgotten lies the fallen truth
half-buried in the media ooze
below the horizon of insanity
humanity drowns in fear



1975
