No Help for That | Jackie Clark

To Whom It May Concern:

Each year I recede further away from the road.
I watch each morning go by with suspicious eyes.
My pieces sit elevated by the roadside.
This assemblage has taken time.

_________ yours,

Sensible Architect

Dear Sensible Architect,
.
A driving-through measures nothing.
The rest is just unfortunate overflow.
The day knows not from where you watch.
To sunder will alter the topography.

Forthright & Frank,
