DON KINGFISHER CAMPBELL
The Rectangle, People

On a round planet
With jagged edges
And irregular bodies
Of clouds and water

Beings with oval heads
And four sticks emanating
Evolve to build houses
Tables, chairs, beds, pools

Vehicles sporting wheels
Bats, balls, tennis rackets
Radios, record players, televisions,
Microwave ovens, computers
(utilizing dials, knobs, buttons, keys)

And now personal L7’s
To hold onto and look into
To fill lumpy, bulbous minds
Concentrate almond eyes

On numbers, letters,
Pictures, music,
Video, games featuring
Recorded voices and faces

Reminding us we are
Creations recreating
Recharging our selfies
Until inevitable recycling
