Marathon Key

 

by Damon Hubbs

 

from the back cabana

the sun drops like a doomed voyage

by balloon

 

we disrupt leisure

with danger

on the edge of the continent

 

salvage work, really

but who owes what

to whom

 

autopsying in the glare 

nothing connects,

it coincides

 

a bellwether

for the imps & iguanas

to hold high carnival
