insufferable

Cloaked diagonally
in a latticework
of string
or any old fluff
a wire hung engine
powered into debris
the impulse to ignore,
thus idling for one hundred years
the oddity that snaked
from over rooftops
to settle in our yard.

An unmovable obstacle
the Oddity remained,
ignoring as my own
suffered its existence.

At its epoch
then the thing poked
surveyors from under
grimy refuse
and a green cord
slithered through
the weeds
into the family plot,
draining the
dessicated essence
from our descendants.

Powered by an agent
undiscovered by
human incredulity,
the Oddity
could now begin again
its hold on
ignorant bliss,
realizing a morphology
to the sloth
and beyond;
the divan of immobility.
