Super Bowl on Broadway: photo by Steve Pappas, 1 February 2014
It's the quiet that we
suck out of the noise.
The morning carries Carbon 14
a relative waste jackknifed
in the middle of the universe.
O brook, o river, o baptism,
falling in the hands of moneyseekers.
It's the hermit that we must feel
in the multitude. O woods
O forests, o river!
It's the quiet to extract
..from the wind
