Not a Strange Grammar
By Eduardo Escalante
nothing to raise Abel
or make a song and dance about
at the extreme of disorder
a hundred-year’s flood every decade
stories stir shadows
over our small hours
there is no place
principle or signal
right left center
where to live
no cause, no cause
at the extreme of disorder
the disorder
is the only place.
