a crow never

a crow never calls in vain
a crow calls a crow
a friend one or two
or three
times
together
over streets
of intersecting
lines of
communication
in four dimensions
over time
space
sound
social networks
an electronic spider
on a silken string
we see
and are seen
in a flash of
patterns
against a gray
backdrop
of dilated
consequence
in liquid motion
of wings
we fly
to.
