Black and White

The arched palm sways; again it says I am triumphant
As if, within itself, it has found the very essence of flexibility

Such as aimed at by architects 
& constructors of the worlds finest
Bridges & most modernist recreational houses

Messages, airborne communications, indiscernible
To the discerning holidaymaker

Late afternoon; altogether warm
A wind that whistles
As though thoroughly broken teeth

The mosquito follows its own unique & clearly
Discernible, rite of passage

A wind that crosses itself
As though a fresh new pop star
On that Apple Studios zebra crossing

What then the consequences of an all out attack
On the inflexible sources of irritation
