some version happening Now
as if Randall Flagg and Mother Abagail had a baby
and its name is Trump
worshipped by those
who think of themselves as Patriots
with a Capital P
on the Side of Good
who believe those who actually Practice Freedom
are the Evil Followers of The Walkin Dude
with clockwork tickin bootheels on the pavement
hollow sound
encase yr heart in Ice
keep walkin
Faster
FasterFaster
that hollow sound
relentless tik ... tok
tik tok tiktok tiktok
frozen
echo
haunting dreams and waking moments
as all around collapses in chaos
once they used to have pay phones
on stanchions or booths on the street
so you cld call a friend
drop a dime or a quarter
make a connection
to Save Yr Life in that Dark Street Night
no stars break through the city haze
the streets are swathed in fog like netting
like a Great Fisherman
dropping snares into the streets
twisting
tangling
the darkest night descends
and when the fog rises …
Emptiness
He Who Walks Behind the Rows is ever with us
