On Distrust

A neighbor cuts wood in the rain

Dragging branches and prodding artlessly

With a cross-cut saw. Rain

Has fallen all summer

& the encyclopedia

Lying open on the table

Has folded its pages like a moth.

Why don’t you do something?

Why don’t you carry painted jars

Under the clouds?
