is extra-odious today
imaginary reveries
assert themselves with clarity
such that I find myself
at a table ringed with children
ridiculous in adult clothing
discussing open-source report modules
and their shortcomings

when a spiral-bound notebook
insists I notice it is
bound with a hebrew letter
whose name I can’t remember
doubled and repeated
a keystroke held too long
sign? or wonder?
Resolving then into the coiled razor wire
atop fences damning those
whose names will be forgotten.
Failing to impart its message
this mark, this letter, this ugly tool
of punishment,
this binding
casts itself finally
as the acromion process
source of impingement
and sore shoulders since always
A design flaw suggesting no designer
or perhaps a God of meetings?
Perhaps not, as this theodicy
will cease entertaining objections
promptly at noon

Surely no theology so tidy
is worthy of the name.
Only later via more letters
do these things seem to reveal
themselves as signs less than wondrous

banal on the order of the functionary
little more than mirrors
of the ridiculous kid
resentful of meetings
and poorly implemented open-source reporting systems.
