Revving an engine to Steal attention.

Flirting cool furniture with blithe lids Closed.

A tidy splash on a mirror. A Fear

Of belonging an avoidance of Cleaving to Incompletion

As of a flash as of hit by a flash

Or an echo

Of an echo of a speech into stones.

Tone deaf stick lashings who

Spoke, along school railings

Paramount Noise
