Is Firebird a bird made of fire
or a bird that sets everything…
Question
you stand at the edge of the collider
a naive little voice: what if…
What if you could only marry
someone with the opposite
belly button style….
Today is a half-eaten leaf
I’m not sure I want to eat
the remainder
sometimes my coping mechanism
is to tune out,
to avoid the conflict or stress
in front of me–
the difficulty being when
do you know to tune in again?
You know how sometimes,
You don’t know what day it is?…
I ate some smarties
in my car and one dropped
into the seat and I didn’t notice
Hey? What’s up? How goes?
What’s going on lately? Hm?…
If we reached paradise
would we run away?
You know you like to complain.
Guess who I just saw,
You’ll never believe it’s true!…
