frontal plain

excess at the mean dilute (delude) foreign
influence at the pain of extradition into a
lesser norm than might have color attached
the floater surface lined-out beyond seeing

hears the duty of one’s interpolations mixed
within anchors of tone or pressure, then to a
more formal hour yet housed inside doubts
as a theme or a substitute for another’s hour

left on the table as a sign or a message from
the beyond wherever that is, just over a hill
and then loafed along toward conclusive sets
the day’s mark made on the blinking screen
