property damage

you mining for trash, carry on
with a borrowed starbux reusable styro
style mug from the lab, contraband
in many ways. lift the stray syllabus
for clues on the way in.

never mind the octopus legs
wrapped around the pylons beneath you
or the lake's red surface waiting
for treatment, denied. the patient metastizes
because that's how clouds roll.
it's a good research opportunity.
smile for the bowties. could you use
a little hot tub therapy? merlot?make
yourself comfy, sir.

all in itlaics. oh i could go for that
rides on the rising seas, underground
bunker mini vacays. you know i was ready
for aruba when we swam in the  milky way s
dolphins were the icing. let's blow this
town with someone else's trust fund
cuz that's how clouds roll.
