every day is
like digging a
hole. you unearth its treasures,
but just try to pack them back in and they
overflow.
what sits on top of our necks? is it a camera or a
projector? by framing it this way, i'm already
painted into a corner.
doom is the mood of the moment, but green
strawberries and tiny
grapes missed the memo, must not be on the
socials.
and likewise i pretend everything is fine because
what am i supposed to do, lead a revolution?
that's a task for someone
with ambition. it's easy to worry about
everything--after all, it's something to do and
every click is designed to drain you.
we strolled instead of scrolled, saw birds copulating
matter-of-factly, the slight ruffling of
feathers called the cloacal kiss.
first killdeer on
the beach, then distant eagles atop
tall trees. spring was in the air, another
turn of the birth/death wheel.
