through which we are slowly losing
our taste for the real like the helicopter
poised above the hibiscus flower
we seem to be losing awareness even
of the extreme vulnerability
of this whole physical contraption
including our own blood and bones
but that’s just what’s happening today
as it was when slaves
were still called slaves
and such a thing as freedom
could actually exist
the hibiscus is that new yellow-orange
the helicopter a perfect hummingbird blue
