Diorama
Pre-modern
When their father died on the mountainside, the two
boys, who had only hoped to discover, found their selves
forced to settle for the flashlight and radio. Both were
on all night. If nothing else, they could see each other
and their immediate surroundings, however discrete and
miserly the light. If nothing else, they could talk to
one another and listen to the world ab extra, however
laconic the pandemonium. Either would have been
good--but both? Better than lightning or thunder.
Post-modern
Because the sun has burned off the last of the fog
you can see a bit more, a little farther. Look—
a lone coyote slinks into the underbrush. There—
that hawk-shaped hole in the sky, last shard of the
night.
Mountain after mountain, and way over
there—that faint band, blue haze—that's the ocean.
Yes, the vistas reappear, just as I said.
That? That's just the household coughing up sleep—
That? Showers running in the walls—
music, I see, to your burning—I guess—ears.
