POWERS GREATER THAN ..

i watch optimists waiting for public transport
in a boondoggle cutback of essential services
weekends and public holidays.Let those who work in public service
use only those services.Then they would work!
Meanwhile,gridlock.China.Imports.Stagflation.Weimer Republic#2
without the surrealism/opera/brave art activisms.
Retro becomes historic-reviewing this year's horror stories
Forgetting we are scriptoria-responsible for
the casting of politics and the throwing of stone crits.
Our tiny lights ,our massive darknesses.Crowds shop
because freedom costs.Buy objects when what we want
is each other.Tell me-are there powers stronger ?
Can we cast and recast runes to fit the tunes of our tin times?
Chime seasonal sweetnesses?Ring Yule and Solstices,Full Moons
to resonate attunements with powers greater than us?
or are we mere witnesses of wonders older than time
who flash Heavens of harmonies/sing stars in dark night
so we might be reassured/"peace in our time"?
