Lost Connection

Lost Connection 

the preacher doesn’t know he’s on mute 
he still holds his microphone
somebody smashed
that man’s bluetooth speaker 
a long time ago 
meanwhile in a small 
vibrant cornfield 
not far from the church 
the scarecrow lies down 
with its back to the world
a simple
straw stuffed face 
content to cloud gaze 
all day
