shrink

droopy daisy
runny rose
broken baby's breath

carnation spotted spider
mites and willow
close to death

untidy shopping cart
discarded crumpled
plastic wrap

all cheerfully awaiting
the final rf zap

intact

it's happiness that's
unfamiliar, that
glow of know-
ing home,

that i belong.

it's this, this
disconnect,
this
ground
level lights
dimmed, this
narrow
narrow-
ing.

this

swallowed
muddy
pool,
this,

this is familiar.

last 15

I occupy no permanent space
I move
I'm already gone
I'm a construct
an automaton
in
auto
motion
rotating around time
clock collaborator in
time clock out of sync
out of touch adrift
inconsequential
a product
a service
I move
I flee
into
clouds
like stepping
stones into flood
lamps in motion afraid to
look up to see a minneola sunset
wheeling overhead like smoke like
dust like ripples on a pond to
watch some other construct
in motion
rotating outward
toward the infinite exhale
of the cosmic microwave
background
I move
on
I'm
already gone.

a verse

a poem doesn't have to
be special a poem
just has to be
what it
is
