Leveling



Levels and layers and layers of levels,

An old ring-around and turn the mind off

The wearing away the war of the day,

A gyric occlusion of this and that,

Sometimes adding on to the confusion

Of the meter--scant poetry on falling

Through cloud and cloud; a feeling of living

In the undertow--sometimes syphoning

Its meaning, sometimes dwelling in it.
