Consistent and Inconsistent Equations
An estimated 5500 languages
coalesce out in the great web
& in each one at least one fight,
at least one couple fighting
in the apartment upstairs, heavy
footsteps like footprints falling
through the roof & music so loud
we can hear the words, unmuffled,
at least one child singing to herself
to ward off demons in the dark.
The great web hangs heavy with dew
against the slatboard sky,
vibrating sky, full of man made songs,
sung in one voice.
