a dialogue of rebellion

sort of been in "Shins" mode all week, so this one is for B. Maj- the man on the 2 train that saw "a leaf" : ) thanx mister.

i will not compete with your Loneliness
as it inches further down the resilient
Branch.
dangling on a haphazard
Thread of indifference.
Captured in the admiration
of unyeilding Wind-
that twists and turns upon the Fascination
of a vain and transparent Season-
Recognition in innumerable
Heaps of Colour
endless patterns of Nature's civility-
No one will notice your unbending position-
Your final Dance
perilous circles in Space-
playing so fiercely
against the inevitable Chill.
Swept along the brittle
deadened piles
that bluster without Cause
and slowly settle into Anonymity.
Lost in the aromatic pain
f yellow airs
unknown-
to but you and I.
