Inspired by Bob Dylan poetry by Ivor Daniel

Baby blue planet

We take what we need, take more
that will not last a fire crying sun.
Doors we walk through, signs we
ignore, gamble highway dreams until
undone.
Coincidences, pattern-crazy sheets,
tired blankets, carpets,
planet
now upheaved.
We throw baby blue paint out
with the bathwater.
Matches are damp, saints worn
through.
Humanity smooths Her crumpled dress.
Catastrophe plays with His all over nowness
