UNRAVELLED CASSETTE TAPE
You can tell the time
period by its tumbleweed—
whatever is light
enough for the breeze to take
up for a time
but far too clingy to tug
free of any takers—
the haggling hand
of a branch, say,
which will go
to great lengths
to get some
unravelled cassette tape
and model it
like tinsel a little
while longer
while oddities last.
