Sideways Talk

Journal failure makes common contrast
with a bluer than green tree on sky.

Can publication make accounts
balance like the wind in the wisps
of a squirrel's final tail hair?

News! New! Winners!
Spread the absurd
take the word
sell in sentences
sell stanzas
and put to market
every ready phrase. 

Or else?
Play?
Uncodified normalcy?
When a ball rolls between
and tosses
bounces
picks up
catches
the subject heart
is a child without death in its eyes.
