Going to the Country -revised

[addy]

A half-ploughed field haunted, two tractors abandoned
betoken the future. Agricultural labour
has paused for a cider and a piss in the ditch;
a puff on a pipe to turn matters over,
late afternoon slumber in the shade of a hedge. Great stanza

Dappled light on a tree stump lends the appearance
of fairy enchantment or deer at a distance;
the cadence of branches, the rhythm of swaying,
melodious birdsong flatters the forest.
We bring children and dogs and note the discordance. "Note the discordance" reads a tad bit stiff. If the intention was to be jarring, this holds back from that

Fair-weather features are tacked to the borders,
defacing the country, they shall in their order should it be "in due order"? (I'm not sure though )
grow beards and moustaches, pimples and glasses,
be coloured in every shade of the spectrum; Not sure how to interpret this line
but it’s crosses that count - the plight of the commons.

How long before birdsong becomes too intrusive
or passes unnoticed like shopping mall music
and trees, grown too tall for bowing and scraping, Again, not sure, but maybe you can leave the question up to the second line, than have the last three lines not be in question form. They're good lines, and (for me anyway) they don't have to be rhetorical to work within the context
are snatched from the breach between earth and its ceiling,
to groan for the good of the greater number?

Thanks very much for the enjoyable read
