Repetition


The ten thousand things
repeat themselves endlessly
without repeating themselves.

This is how the universe lives.

    Spiderman hangs from a broken
    Crane, threatening
    To plunge all Broadway into
    Darkness and disaster.

    Hovering in a rescue helicopter
    High above submerged houses
    Makes this seem a Monopoly set
    Where the only pieces are mortgaged homes.

    What strength is there against
    An exploding power station?
    Not even a skeleton of a house
    Whose foundations have sunk in quicksand.

    A roller coaster contorts around
    Sailboats slammed together,
    And boardwalks splintered apart
    Drown among those felled by trees.
