Constellations

No man understands another man’s
constellations, when he welds
sparks that speak to bantam hooves,
no man can see the conflagrations
that he vigilantly melds
from tides that sweep the crystal ball.
No man understands another man’s
bubbles, no man sees them adequately
rebel, from his mouth that touched
kazoo before hookah, whose drifters
drifted ‘cross the nations’ spangled flags,
or constellations—if you will.
No man can count above one when
surveying prodigious Zodiac
plans—that are fixed Plan B’s up in the sky—
no man can see how they lit trials and tests
and pierced the clouds that were to us
amorphous districts.
No man comprehends another man’s
nations, the rivers tears of per se gods,
and far away the clouds look stately
to righteous men
who walk the unknown sods,
and no man transcends that immigration
though he may have aced the stars
and stripes, and bubbled in the constellations
with one hundred percent right.
No man cobbles together the threat of his graphite,
T’s dotted in iconoclasm
and I’s all crossed in quiet rage.
