they found the premature obituary of the Malaysian air wreckage evidence of next door neighbors through flowing water on Mars too much sea salt in the polluted Goldilocks’ porridge forever controlled by a warm bowl refused of a hungry little girl
i make a subservient attempt to convince people to fear & query the global rice price increase a light mole growing inside a jumbotron hot spring the baby snow monkey plays grooming with his lifeless infant stepsister nearby shaping summer out of dead shadows and outcast altitudes the last few petals of vertigo spiraling down the venomous mouth of a well the screaming suction of a burdened abortion wholly dressed in breast milk the tired air creases a fold every time a dying soul passes by the begging bowl
me struggling to make peace with my hands as the barbaric fork decapitates the spoon
