" Codas of Sorts "...

Codas of sorts
being performed
totally out of order
like bouncing
while walking
then coming
to a violent halt

feeling unmoored
from meaning
suddenly fully released
onto trembling knees
of incoherence

bellies distended
arms outstretched
like concussed
chuckleheads
with difficulty
forming complete
sentences

while mumbling
out of succession
having gone
out of sequence
shoulder-to-hip belts
concave convex
perpetual motionlessness...
