The Era of Common Sense is Over

Outer Banks photo by Daniel Pullen from the back of a jet ski.



Happy to be home at milkweed flight

the clear cold nights and needled frost

just right for what could be 

yet there's a wave in me

that's breaking still

it builds from ridge to ridge

and rolls with thunder through the valley

it shakes the posts sets off a buzzing

 in the beams and brings me to my senses yes

all of them alive and sparking

in this ocean in my sky

a lighting bolt is five miles long

and i see nothing common in that.
