Mark It

Amanda Farrell
purchase to own or to dispose
crocodiles swallow rocks
to make them go

above, wind blows
birds in perilous flocks
purchase to own or to dispose

who is it plants the trees in rows
magnetizes the clocks
to make them go

while off the road
a creepy compost mocks
"purchase to own or to dispose"

the wrapper of the life that's known
is thrown out with the box
to make them go

moon shines, grass grows
all while the store clerk locks
purchase to own or to dispose
to make them go

    Writing this made me realize that "go" can mean "stay".
