Restless Again

The hand of a rich man
spoon feeds information.

Columns fill with check
marks under Items Done.

Poems appear as if dropped
from the hallway ceiling.

Ribbons stream across
doorways of energy.

Interest in the difficulties 
of the righteous wanes.

Problematic lines of scripture
demand rising attention.

Crucial mistakes postpone
entertainment services.

The voice of the mother singing 
"You Are My Sunshine" dwindles.
