Why Write
Y write with a laptop
a typewriter or tie fighter
I buy right by buying small
I buy bulk and stand so tall
oh so tall
how did I even get up here
above the clouds the sky is clear
there is no sky just a blurry line
between all space and all time
and this little blue ball
a globe called earth
We call it Earth it is for certainly dirt
yes most assuredly
But mostly molten and rocky and covered in
homes and bones and bees and trees and things
Well who knows how many wells were dug to fill each cup
in each village turned town turned city; it’s the west
the way of the west
expanding
depressed
Surströmming so strongly survived the coldest winters
fish eaten rotten and dead to live and die
We can be like penguins all huddled up to survive
but our beaks are our mouths and
our mouths must speak
and when we speak we divinate divine derision
Make words with wobbles in wind vibrations
When words hit our ears our brains are so tickled
the tik toks and slang
kids playing war games
Pleasant purpose purportedly protects people’s perceptions
The truth of intentions dying each second
reborn in the present each sentence is ending
A new thought beginning, winning, bidding, losing, borders, snoozing sides and surrender
the sea swallows all with lavish tsunamis and splendor
Nigh, the time is nigh! Now, not now, naught but our bodies and
how we ought-ta be fighting
if you’re not growing you’re dying
now smile for the camera
Subjectively of course
What’s worse?
To be so large or to be so dead,
you cannot fail
you cannot win
there is no where to go
and no place to sit
you must get up and dance and spin
and spin around hit the town make friends who murder
then talk to their mother and shake her hand
HI GOD, NICE OUTFIT
why yes it is me dressed in fabric from Belize
so floral and green, and the smile on my face is pretend indeed
you mustn’t worry though, however you wish
it’s all wishy washy
gone with the wind
and her bones will turn to dust and the sun will blow up
and all the love you were so scared to give will pile up
a supernova
Big Bang
Again!
She watches and waits, curious what her creation might do next…
