Scheduled:
a two part
investigation

Recalling
the investigation

*

These bi-
furcated
ovals
stand up
from the clear red stems -

not like hairs,
not like soldiers -

in this quietness.

*

Time's tic:
to pitch forward
then catch "itself"
again.

"We're" bombing Iraq again.

If I turn on the news,
someone will say, "We
mean business."

*

Eyes open wide
to form

an apology?
Disguised as what
might be surprise

over the raised spoon.
