COOPERATION RENDERED

by Robert M. Chute


The year 2007. The place (places)
Kenya and Ethiopia where
agents representing freedom and
our ultimate well fare capture
imprison transport (render cooperative)
we're not sure who. It takes too
little imagination to turn the clock
back to 1940, fold the map
so Africa overlaps Europe where
the routes of secret flights are
marked in transparent ink.


Robert M. Chute’s book from JustWrite Books, Reading Nature, poetry based on scientific articles, is available from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
