An After, After Noon

It's all after,
that's what my mind
is getting after.
Post. Always post.
With that little hyphen
dashing next to that 
which came before.
Motion,
comes after
previous position.
The ocean comes after
empty rocky dry.
The rain comes after
evaporation.
Lions come after
gazelles.
The egg after
the chicken
after the chicken
after the chicken
after the egg.
Too simple
if it were a circle.
The shape is the shape
of static on the surface
of the entire earth;
electricity
after a fashion.
