Am I Am and Wherefores

Consider kiss
alternation, current,
in a car?
In a jar?
In a higher school?
All that falls,
follows,
like the excess comma
allows.
Accords are written to
manage discord.
Alterations are made
to tailor suiting coasts;
I read once
or heard
that coastlines 
are of infinite 
length
for a curve 
cannot be seen
to swerve
into a ruler's straits.
Cross over from inches
to imperium
and from plurality
to meter
where the trenches
are wrenches wrenched
from the toolbox drawer
rusted shut on the fingers
that last opened this box of screwdrivers
when orange juice had not yet met vodka.
