Decay

 

Chimney stacks

like breaching whales

spew their excess

into the sky the support

while a capsule buzzes and clunks

on a pre-destined path

showing time who's boss

in a feeble gesture,

and it's plain to see

in our valley's bottom

the presence of God

the master builder

fallen on hard times,

he's called on less -

under appreciated,

like time itself.
