insect attack at dusk

soil - garden veritas
onion - tart tongue snap
bird - wing disposition
dusk - dangerous tide reversal
mosquito - mob implosion.

(neckbone, 1998)

...............

man looks at clock, snaps fingers.
clock says, "looking for the time?"
man says, "i already know what time it is."
clock ticks, says, "what time do you think it is?"
man snaps fingers, says, "one tick away from eternity."
clock explodes into one trillion sub-particles.
man snaps fingers, says, "no time like the present!"
