Why does this not

Why does this
not
call for poetry
just prose?

Fractal-ed limbs
against gray sky
climatic air mass
bringing drop & mist.

Why does this
not
talk to poets
less prose?

Personal god
waivers the atheist
when coincidence
makes claim.

Why does this
not
make the poetry
less prose?

Human cost
cast in forms of
play in public
and war;

Why does this
not
move the poet
lessen the prose?

Modernity, God,
Metropolis, mayhemic man
claims the poets
tithing of lines
when the greatest part
is left unwritten.
