Issue No. B-1610 Poem by David Hart

'Issue No. B-1610' by David Hart

Black rectangular, quasi-rectangular, plastic half darkened
Now with shades of gray - reflecting

White steel stalk of tin
Jutting out to a white sheet

Small oval shape - one third severed sphere
Affixed on the apex of a twin stalk - elliptical

Silver and gray tube with a creviced
Serpentine spine

Sitting staring beaming unrelentlessly
Interminable

Soft muffled tones whirring the concordant
monotone melody of D flat

No remorse or afterthought just base
exploitation of energy.
