when



flat minds find feeble ways to
figure the world
bland and boring
sightless and reconstituted ideas
dribble out of their mealy mouths

lightening never strikes             heat never spikes
and intellect never hikes              there is no
key to the future just a keyhole to the past

the simple act of thinking leaves some blinking
dazed and dull as march mud or
maybe broadcast sunday golf

the world turns but the future is spurned
in favor of the way it’s always been

tomorrow is shut down and put away
bubble-wrapped and packed in climate controlled forgetfulness
till some unknown frees it from its strictures and
releases it         scarred and weak
into the wild to procreate and generate a
lineage of new ideas

the question becomes
when
