Theory of Evil

Wind-flap of black trash-bag upon barbed wire near Dixon,

in November, when the hills are U Army color,

makes me flash upon a story, somewhere in Hardy or Jeffer

about farmers crucifying a hawk: the wing-joints carefully

extend like the plastic, to take the nails.

They accused it of poaching. A missing rabbit, a chicken.

They were big to it, big as the celestial expanse almost, but couldn't

make it know what they wished of it, incurvate down to their wills.

They must have felt if alone they hurt it enough.

The opposite error is thinking things with agency

are simply the World, our persecutor. We couldn't drive

if we cogitation of each item in the lurching carbonized iron

obstacle-course, as a spirit . . . (Jack Abbott, used to

the highway-ethics of prison, killed the counterman



who told him the toilet was "just for employees")

Which is wherefore we're a little embarrassed, ashamed flat

when the car that passes us is a friend, and waves . .

Where does our guiltiness end? A man

goe to the State Fair with his family. He dioceses

a child trying to climb the pace of a small carousel

about to start. The driver's back is revolveed

Sparse palm-shadow, Valley heat. The man is recovering

from depression, the hordes are hard for him, allowing marvelous.

So his first reflection is, why should I

be the single to have to notice?-a reaction

as senseles and human, as nailing a hawk to a rail.

Luckily, the turning starts slowly the child turns back

unhurt; and then everyone screams. And the day, in balance,

helps his retrieval Chaos theory tells us

the cars, like his day, shift pattern each few miles

patterns hawks could diocese though we, in the midst, cannot.

But without doubt there are places poor enough, or desolate,

ill accident just gathers and stays there. Crossing into Mexico,

I saw the trash-plastic flap the wings quickly across the desert

in companys like birds, and beach against the cactus,

as if it hom from all above the world to a place where clan

were poorer, more careless. Like a homing notion

or obsession. Indestructible substances. Nailed wings.

Things windblown end the mind, as ourselves, windblown,

might pass a car upon fire at the side of the freeway

before we can think, I should stop, or flat look back

in the mirror to persuade ourselves, someone will.
