Mark A Fisher

pareidolia


there above, up on the moon, a face, the pattern forms

crossing constellations out in space, the pattern forms


against a cerulean sky the ancient elephant appears

the old hills and scrub make a trace, the pattern forms


on the tv, watching history spilt across the screen

too much untaught trying to erase, the pattern forms


staring at random shapes of trees and veins and rivers

fractal figures, a chaotic interface, the pattern forms


fear and doubts plague the news, as greedy vultures

watch our dollars in the marketplace, the pattern forms


Madame Defarge at her knitting, watching all the while

so afterwards the crimes we’ll retrace, the pattern forms


I wish I could be as stoic as ol’ Marcus Aurelius

but I can’t wait with any grace, the pattern forms
