re-existings 

‍

sweat equity 

demand escalators really do run backwards 

i find it frustrating 
when i can’t find information 
to trust the health of my kids 
being the primary driver of decisions 

              & i like that 
              & i feel that we are self-sufficient 
              addiction to ancestry 

these experiences in childhood inspired efforts to take children into what i call “nature” 

surely now 
grey infidelity 
in extinction’s noon arms 
might agree 

i don’t see you out there walking children in “nature”

more than a mere lie 
the family too

our friends who have worked in grocery stores having taught us how to use the wrong bulk-bin
codes at
             the self-checkout because we feel we can’t afford to buy the items we want on our budget 
             even with food stamps 

             & all doing our best 
             & all doing our best 
             to steal more daily life

to keep our community safe & sorry 

to add “useless” chatter i just wanted to express gratitude

contentment 

‍

aren’t i the hand who rocks the cradle on potentially exotic planets? 
            paddles 
            golden rod 
            wafers  
            discovered 
            moves
with drones of light taxidermized to rutters creeping past city killers? 

i was built by flight for evil where rocks march to new & exciting evidence of heart-shaped
                          craters

o alluvial sonogram show me cables covered in salt shedding chrome pancakes & taconite
                          early on

what youth & vigor to honor the surface independent of conflict’s nest barely started &
                          botched 
              onethousandmirror 
              onethousandsickness 
              onethousandexcuse

where do hands go after this star is born but parallel in flare? 
              two sprites laughing
              two mannequins of fame
              two ladders of glycerin
              two horses summit in time ever live 

one with lungs shaped like blimps the other a choppy brown tear mountains forget 

everywhere serpents carry rubber on their bellies like heavenly funiculars 

calorie mines visit everyone i won’t let in my cave where the social reproduction of
                             tweaking glistens & scales before & after
               the whole 
               divorced 
               700 years 
               cities 
               liquid cargo 
               is isolation 

experiment involves us in no inconsistency (it is true that) earths passive in profiles of
                             ballistic consciousness are shit i do

hand me the sign’s timelapsed harness 
i will block out the sun with my night’s data fucking
