 Penumbra

This is about the word, "Satan"

This is about "Jesus," chased by light

This is about the demarcation zone

     moving on the moon

This is about the sun

This is about the earth

This is about the material world

     shaking like a ghost in the machine

This is also about Elvis and JFK

and Herbet Hoover and Sheriff Joe Arpaio:

This is about all of the snakes in the grass

     hunted down by electronic kittens

This is also about, but not limited to,

the undefined demarcation zones

of the infinite, worlds within words,

     rescued by the rational real mathematics

This is about the question of which is better,

Driving to make good "time," a joke, distance ...

This is also about noticing more details

     by walking to your mailbox

This is about the frequency, Kenneth

This is about the code for those in the know,

and the great whole planet of supposedly

     lesser souls, who don't get the signal, yet ...

This is not about banks

This is not about tanks

This is also, but limited to

     the narcolepsy of football

This is not about the eye

     in the pyramid, nor the AOL

     of the mind's eye

This is about the eternal robust

engine of change and the need to conserve

the present in its proper place, lacking time
