I Monongahela For the World

I sponge the mercury factory banks
the mall is security now

the five amber streets lay ingots
to where now? where.

The bacteria kiss each other
inside my sponge, inside my finger tips

help me, I’m summer now, old
& electronically deranged.

Here it goes: I live, two rivers change
a name, up & down the ride

goes on with water & then the sonic
boom with needles and pairs

in threes, sleeping. The soft green animal
is beautiful on fire.

Insert the oil, the imagination.
Put the robot here. Let him

feel the emotions & the fish
Turn back into chrome.

What I can not is spring or summer.
The silver is a sponge. Quick.

No. It is a River.
