The moons of Mars
Bear many scars;

And now they’re maimed
By what they’re named.

Scherzo for Anthony Powell

Evolution’s dialectic
(No, not a fated mountain climb,

Nor a scrimmage hot and hectic):
A dance to music played in time.

When insects of summer
Appear in the spring,
One wonders what bummer
The autumn will bring.

Look at what
I’m looking at
If not then

How I’m

Looking at it
Not how I look
Looking at it.
