Arc
Observe the bow:
its concept plain
but its use complex.
A simple stave
(also in music with
strings, threads
of tones to be released)
stress and expression
arrow dispatched
and soon received.
Today’s equipment
wheeled and strung
in pulley-graphics
with sighting mechanisms
weights and levers
descends from war and hunting
down to targets.
This, then,
from death-sending wand
to wheel-bound testament
of crass perfectibility
now need is gone.
