As Background Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

As Background



to clicks
and
whirrs...
a
piece
offering
lobelias, sun,
thanks,
sparks
and spurs...
an easier graze
than that which
could
have been its verbal equivalent...
sorrel
and musk
remain in the jar...
slap the paving stones, slack-jawed tortoises..
if it's irony you're after, scoop it up....
the larger portion has been plated...
