now that you're gone

you think you know what's going on
better than i do. but the snake
grew wings. or one of us did.

listen it's not that i don't believe you
think it's truth. in many respects, it is.

it's just not mine yet. give it time.
there are things we do, and things done to us.
all of them lessons of one sort or another.
the body needs to eat. i like this cake.
it feels familiar. it feeds the stars














IOUUU




i do. i floated onto the ceiling fan.
i dropped from the cat's mouth. bat me around
a bit. smash me with a shoe. i o u. shredding
mylar and helium glasses. a yellow ring
around a diamond head. a belly, midas esque.


the ticking of the paper bag caught
in the spokes. your teeth, by candle light
things that go smash in the night.

hip in the morning. new radio on the web.
new web on the stay put arsenal of scaterphones.
make that two teas. i want something sweet.
