Make Certain The Vase

Which way with automatic cells
that are silent and ready
in a hollow place?
And found it difficult to laugh at
silly birds.
Turn the page
that flickers away
and another object clamors
off the end of the table.
Gives a feel for things
seen through
a vase giving its calming shapes.
Sun sinks outside weather balloon
snow static.
Know an answer with the plebian circus.
Yet that is what large ideas
colossus browns
are really all about.
And with stars over the dimmest places
that brings down
automatic cells,
silence and a ready made
to the vases and places of today.
