A caged animal.
	Markings on the floor
		Indicate
		A separate subsidy
		Of consolidation.
			Friends.
			A plenty.
		The evidence suggests
			Brutal undertakings
			Of a swift investment
		Only to be turned over
		Into a long-term contingent.
	Separately, there seems to be a motion
		Of an activity ///  where was we?
	There’s something of a phenomena with this process.
		Maybe you get this.
		You have your first thought.
		And then there’s a second.
		And then another.
		And brother, it’s annoying.
		When you keep shifting your stance
		Back and forther
		Between the sunlight and your brother’s might.
		You feel me?
		Keep your sunshades down for another clown.
		But also, this essence of marksmanship.
		What is that?
		You put the FIRST step on the ground.
		And you build on top of it?
		Tell me about this first step.
		How does it accrue?
		How does it make you?
		You’re going to come back 
		over the top and make it different now?
		Some spirit that was.
		When I think of that moment
		When it first struck
		It’s not a moment
		It’s an energy of time and space
		And then the manifestation
		Of the so-called moment occurred
		In your presence.
		And now it is up to you to decide on the
		Whereabouts of its destiny.
				I’ve gotten caught /// briefly in the northern area.
	Across the street, there appears 
		An image of recent restitution 
			Among the neighbors.
		Somewhere along the park, a series of complaints in the past week
			Have allowed us to investigate, or perhaps to further participate.
