When the West forgot Asia

the fumade tinder box

ran out of fungi, or why else 

would we be so unluminous

Unpacking things I haven't seen

since that last house swap

I realise most everything I have

is designed to be sat with 

As if I've known deep inside

my love for speed this whole

time

As planets strip 

layers off me

I give up writing

my name in ice 

for I found a loophole 

to pull the known

through forgetting

Should have

I wish I did

But I'm here now

present

That's plenty

and also so 

beautiful

I stomped "No more

thirteen-hour days

during my winter cycle."

And paused

It's me, innit?

I can't not move

Next, more, again! 

and buckle in

When I burn out 

there will be fireworks

Feed me spoon-words

of Arabic and dates

while I watch no one

connecting seas via canals 

It sure stirs me

Between you shutting my door

and walking around the car for yours

lies a grand vacation for us both

Still fall into

some sort of wth

Mondays, twodays

But then my eyes light up

For I can change it all

before matcha even

hits the dha dhin-na ta-ka-ta dhrrnnnng

notes 

So bring on the nights, too

In the romanticized part of my youth, when ideals were more important than air, my nose used to turn upwards at the idea of eating out. Now, as someone who eats cake for breakfast while the kids are asleep, I get absolutely excited when someone feeds me and I don't have to do the dishes. Sunday Brunch.

I never said

My game is better than yours

But when I'm bored with your level

I'm out. That's all

Octaves work

up to Calcium

Cool, my hurry,

pause to put things in order

just this time

She learns Russian to talk to me

Music to my ears

She doesn't choose an easy path

does she

Every morning the ocean

is in the west

And I'm wrapped in down cloth

thinking of things to pack

for sailing. Maybe berries

they're oddly useful

Trying to control

my outside

is it for the reason 

the inside is a

creature born of 

storm & fire

primordial flesh

Completely unsatisfied

no matter what I eat

what I do today

Suffering in my illusions 

Is there another way

to drink green tea
