Lawrence Hall, HSG
A Fragment of Machinery in the Road
Part of a specialty clamp
in asphalt trapped
Like a primeval animal,
jaws apart
A mechanical protest locked
in place
When steaming pitch was
rolled upon the road
The seasons pass and
footsteps pass, leaves fall
But nothing changes for
those frozen in place
By the decrees of stasis and
stagnancy
Progress blocked by
torpidity and time
The seasons pass, my daily
footsteps pass
A fragment of machinery in
the road
