      Aqueduct Abyss
      by Chris Smith

      Between
      A Man
      and
      A Woman——————
      is an Ocean that must be bridged.
      An expensive toll; Expansive
      Seas of doubt that commonplace strivings can overcome in time.
      Shooting from the hip
      Grasping your elephant gun
      Bag Another.

      Simple-minded singularity which expands in number exponentially with pool hall wisdom.
      Chalk up your cue, baby
      It's your turn to break.
      Neon- Lite beer clock glowing happily while clicking off the biological hours.
      A time-bound reference point serves to provide Security
      and Resentment,
      it would appear.
      Bait up your line and cast away—reeling foreign objects from meat-market waters.

      Trust: establishment of a principle
      Suspicion: bred into fabric of our tabloid television lives

      Seemingly patient virtue explodes with an unparallelled wrath.
      microscopic Mass
      Deserved Destruction?
      Motivated into Action
      Keeping a Rhythm that no one else knows—
      Try to understand

      Or Don't.
