OF THE ALWAYS Part Five

Each part
the history of the whole world

each line
                   an epic

a movie in 4-D
waiting for the aisles to clear
when angels
saunter by to sell
those special cigarettes—

you have to see them,
it’s not enough to listen to me,

the fives are strife
of one color or another,

the girl has a sword
clutched between her knees

it’s as real as a cartoon
a word’s a proffer
invest in it
                             a word’s a door

yank it open and disappear.
