VECTOR ANALYSIS

Skinny side-

walk
earthworm—flooded
architecture?
logic of lines
after all—length
does is
get us

up here by last 

night's downpour,

what do you

make of all this fierce

Why do you think 
we cramp the lean

by imposing upon
their wills
such implausible boxes?
It must seem 

mad—to build up 
what could instead 

be made to slant 
forward;

builds progression, a move-

ment in time.
All height

ever
all stepped-on.
