Eye in the Sky

Richard Bohn 1960 (MA)

Epic
The Hubble seeking clarity
Satellites increasing transparency
A tornado exhibiting temerity
I observing complacency


This one searching with purpose
This one spying with glee
This one spinning torturous
This one thinking he sees

It is a question of focus
It is a requirement for intelligence
It is the center of a storm
It is holistic diligence

The Hubble enhancing university
Satellites reconnoitering the insurgency
Tornado’s storming swaths of adversity
I alientated from the plutocracy

This one affecting dicourse
This one compromising privacy
This one seems to run it’s own course
This one mired in poetic militancy

Eye in the sky
Far from a star
Star in the sky
i from afar.......
