what if the scheduled outage never came?
after Cavafy
all the sinks full
kettle boiled, tea
made
batteries charged
the apple washed
the toilet flushed
radio wound up for
emergency
not a hot day
no fans required
for dinner call a
cold collation
all of this well
planned
at the stroke of
what-was-it
should be?
but the moment
passed
meaning simply
ye know not the hour
then one must be
prepared
and in the meantime
just go on as if
guitar, piano
untouched
every book off-screen
unread
who would go wallaby
watching?
who’d tip the leaf
for green?
who’d see the
flutter down if?
and the coal in the
wires
smoke in the air
what barabarisms
would continue?
it’s just like a
clock never struck
though it did
what if we were
waiting for that deadline
but the world spun
on?
