These are animal meditations on morality
Teeth that gleam in high resolution from the comfort of
your four-person municipality
Free massages in alleyways are
not free
Or
they are
in the new
sense
Surgical glue holds
us proximal, solstice
after solstice witnessing a scarred
divide, discolored, grow
like new veins filled with
reality TV stars and
pop
culture trivia
Photo filters that can’t mask the
highway hypnosis boredom the
screens
project onto us
Suspect: wanderlust, and
tears in
stretchy Under Armour space-time
Dismiss Neanderthal congeniality – words that
rake in billions
Dawn’s early thrust, one
more opportunity smothered with
gauze
and paper tape
Maneuver brunches hunched
over
Go never quickly, a head
full
of
dirty milk and baby bats
Glue, like a desperate
aphrodisiac
never quite
not there
in my dermal fantasy where I
am adhesive
How do you sit on a couch?
Demagnetized, or with your
head in a
bottle
Open sores make
appreciation
of autumn leaves
possible, but colors –
no,
colors and their blogs
are found stuck
to inkblots in your
living will.
