Modernity

You are a stroller, walker, wanderer, 
idle and dispassionate observer 
of the  vulgar and sullen  
sceptre of human 
repair.

You will back-up, swerve, curve, climb or descend
 to near or far, but never to go straight and
 rarely slow, to step outside the alien 
apathy of the freshly colonized 
collective hubris of 
modernity.  

You have emerged from the bohemian shadows, 
neither fish nor fowl, absent such suffocating 
boundaries as the flesh, incarnate from the 
repressed shallows of a disparate society 
to reanimate a  new space  born deep 
within a consciousness of restraint; 
now  rendering  your clarion 
call.

You are no longer the ambient observer 
of remote urbanity, but modernity 
on your own path to source 
all life's nuances both 
fleeting or 
remis.
