Lateral Transfers

 

The elder blossom sees the worm,

Seizes a day and smells the breeze

And moves along. It can't go far.


The Younger Brothers see the cache

And hope it proves they chose the path

That Momma wanted: Nouveau Chic.


The middle sex is villages

And towns along a scruffy march.

They live with Hope. She cheats on them.


These demarcations, falsehoods, if

You get my drift, blur at the end

Of eras, pending scholarship


And bibliographies. Athwart

the elder, berries mark their place

With footnotes, colorful, but dry.
