Realizing
Taking ease on the Blitz Park trapeze
Upside down
While feeding geese
Which flee
I strain to reach my craning rucksack
Easing with me on trapeze
There it be
The crystal ball ya’ll needs to gaze in
Right side up it’s mere grazing
Upside down
The blood swan diving
My ball divining
The breeze flagging my blue Nehru jacket
Hanging less on than off
It’s visible
The shit which evades is visible
