screen
shot of the universe
can
you fit it all in the head of a pin?
can
two hours after midnight
be
the moment i fit it all in?
l.
a.
i
guess this is winter
and
i splinter
from
the impact
of
the fact
that
i’m looked to for leadership
and
i feel so ill-equipped
when
i sense their concern
what
is it for which you yearn?
every
remake of the planet of the apes
says
apes can’t be free
unless
they swing through the trees
with
a purpose that makes them
like
you and me
hopefully
your purpose is not my approval
because
i listen, watch and observe
with
a presupposition
that
if this milky way galaxy
were
to disappear
the
universe would not even blink
anyway
it
is cold
so
i need to keep moving
cigarette,
flask
and
the new shoes i got for christmas
and
the best company i find
is
my mind
because
everyone else imagines
fairy
tales read by warm fireplaces
removing
the chill one would find
in
the endless and empty expanse
of
space, especially the extreme
in-between
one
solar system and the next
