Conversation 2

why is it always
when opened out
like a leaf-draped country
lane
a new path
is barely visible
beneath your
words

why there
exactly
must i
with horror hear
a voice rising
too loud or droning
in disgusting
pedantry

why then why
there
am i bulldozing
planting plosives
for this strident
fricative fourlane
overpass?
