How can a world

How can a world
of imagery possibility
visions missioned
organized reality
be such as it is?

And while be the not
an order of events
proposing an alternative grammar
grates against the soul
spirited from cradle to grave
quicker than memory accepts.

Fate and the past
driving a car
highway passages, tolls, gasoline
lights showing the snow
falling onto the road
as everything goes along.
