Analysis of Rut

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)



This rut i call my life.
This much practiced habit.
Spinning wheels ,
the clay we spray
on each other
And call it conversation

Battering each other with our delusions.
Bouncing back into our position.
A conflict of the conditioned.
A never ending carousel.
Empty space between two brackets.
A fall from grace.
  A Con,a game,a racket.
