a poem leaves abstractions

a poem leaves abstractions in its wake
blessed be the bridges of waldrep and resistant bees raptured
a poem drops the red blood dot out of the blue sky into the blue sea
bring on the International Society of Ecology & Culture
a poem discards unneccessarries of vagueness
for chinese street sweepers to pick up every salaried day
a poem insists on species specifics & multiple modes of being
blessed be the poet shopper of pomegranates at walmart
a poem must blend grand abstractions with the minute particulars
or we will die of computerized hyperdata, suprainformed,
plastificated, underactuarialized, premortified, ultrainundated, simulacrafied, ubermasticated, etc. etc.
