On 3

I saw you–

(1st)

for a

–minute–

I saw you.

and believe me, I tried to turn away

since you’re on that ray-dar

>alongside my instant idiot button<

that activates PDQ

>must be head over heel to activate<

but I was pulled along

–quite literally→

“let’s go here!”

and for a year thereafter

(and by year I mean 2)

everything inside me flew

(again)

music sounded new

(again)

I daydreamed about you

(again)

and now

…like luck of 3’s…

which final verdict is up for debate

sidebar–

3 X & you’re out

or 3x the charm

–there is just no more

¡ooo!

(again)

Bottled Time

Bottle2I stole leftover daylight

every day

of every winter

of (every) life

in a jar that doubled as

umbrella stand….

one day

–Independence Day–

I added (diet) Coke

and Mentos

-one

–by

—one

(with the Men’s toes)

since method is everything

and pop!

a parallel universe.

Pound Foolish

 

I dreamt of a kitchen–

its floor, and

spot

a

second-hand scale should be…

scales_of_justice

it went missing, and

I circled around & ’round

unsure how I–

an

exercise nut

–felt of its

absence.

The very nature of

Internet “friendship”

is 2-faced

now int it

iThink the term

frenemy

was coined therefrom,

z’matter of fact but–

–hold up a sec’…

Yep. Yep.

Wikipedia says so,

and in Wikipedia we trust.

Genuine communication

is unedited

unapplauded

& possibly unmonitored

didja ever google

think?

‘think maybe we are all catfish?

Not one of us

a starving child loading

a less fortunate dot org,

but catfish?

Not one of us

artist but sketch?

Not one of us

“of the flesh” people

but Pod people?

you know–pod people?

(soilent green)

Bottomfeeders and

suckers abound so it’s

a good thing spiders eat fish–

–hold up a sess’…

koff-koff

putter-putter

rummage-rummage

….

God what is that?

lalalalalalala…

>algae<

…mmm…

…..whatwasijust–shit!

*sound of

webbed footfalls;

chair pulled out,

cushion whooping it up*

click-click

Yep. Yep.

Wikipedia says so,

and in Wikipedia we trust.

but as the ladder fish

iThink iPrefer

the term

“gill-able”
