ON SHOW

ON SHOW

rolled the dice
looked at
the sky

couldn’t figure out
if there was any synchrony
any meaningful signs

or were there
no connections, not
even mere
coincidences

the leagues of shapeless
forever mutating cloud
clearly insisting
it was all a hoax

nothing in the box
nothing behind the door

if there were
they should know

if there
were
they should know

not
to protest
too much

but there is nothing
there to hope for
nothing there to show
