Way of the Domino

casual extra marital encounters
and
the upholding of self-aborting decrees
were never things
I took pleasure in

Can we all call to mind
the removal of the chain
in doorways where the bested man
has just minutes earlier
departed
or even the toppling of glass bottles
the pyramid structure, going the way of the domino?

There are no victims
just players
some clock in on an automaton figure of eight
and sign over their souls
to the garbage men

others take on the struggle
to beseech the seam
tear a hole in the clouds
and kindle a little flame for themselves
up amongst the stars
