Ha!! Me, too…
this 30th of May
even the fireworks
sound tired
who knew
the 6th mass extinction
on the planet
would be set into motion
not by a furious comet
instead thrown into chaos
by an insidious cloud
of misinformation
(que piano music)
what we call eternity lasts
approximately 3 seconds
it is the state of a happy heart
at the moment of your death
as your brain powers down
the last thing it processes are images of
everything you ever loved
mercifully
that is our shared heaven
in death
our ribs remain skyward
like hands
cast to heaven
in prayer
for teaching empathy
when generations
of parents
failed to do so
thank you for maple syrup
Do you think
Canadians feel like
they occupy
the spacious attic
of hell?
the moment he turned
and walked away
our world became peckinpah
i can no longer discern
whose blood
my hands are weeping over
Paris in the rain
a woman’s life
is too tenuous
delicate
billowy
spider web
close call on I-75
in preterm labor
on the way to the
Paris airport
in the rain
fragile
beautiful
precious
sacrosanct
finite
for bad friends
bad family
bad coffee
bad shoes
bad mattresses
bad jobs
bad husbands
bad debt
and bad dick
learn this by 30 for maximum
enjoyment
future
female
conquerors
of a dying planet
