Illusions


Pulled by a tiny tugboat, 
The log-filled barge creeps across the water. 
Etched against the romantically stained 
Pink and blue sky like a giant cockroach; 
Menacing, the stuff of dreams and horror movies, 
And yet quite harmless — 
 The opposite of the evil creeping 
Into our society, black- jacketed and masked, 
Abducting friends and neighbors, 
Claiming motives of safety and economy.
