Murmuration

Thoughts are starlings, numerous and common,
Invasive, drab, undifferentiated,
Cumulative as a poem's adjectives,

Selfish as a city's inhabitants,
All-consuming as cannibal locusts,
Noisome as a relentless telethon,

Dark as galactic clouds with black-hole eyes,
Useful as a pestilence at harvest,
A plague in a mob, a mob in a tent,

A tent in a rain of guided missiles,
Guided missiles in a lunar vacuum,
A lunar vacuum in a starling cloud.
