October 20th

The temperature has dropped, 
the constructs have vanished, 
and the woman 
the lab assistant’s been seeing 
will not return his calls.

He shakes his head, saying,
The tensile strength 
of the bridge cables
will not hold 
if the vibration continues 
at these unprecedented levels.  

How will it continue 
to function, he wonders, 
if the party in power 
channels her resources 
towards some candidate 
of unknown potential?

Only the victim, he says, 
ear to the ground, will know 
and only after speech 
has failed him already.
