Another earth

 On another earth 

I was

waiting for a package 

to arrive 

called hands on another earth 

standing at the curb cut

the van at the intersection 

the package in the van

the charms in the package 

culled hands to call

another moon to my earth

pulled close to her

deep rest in slow motion

the whirls in the grain of thought

spam

do you remember that time we were invited to a party in high school
and we stopped at the convenient store to pick up a thing to bring
because one should never show up empty handed
and we didn't have fake IDs so we got a can of spam

and when we got to the party
no one wanted to eat the spam
so you opened it up and stuck your tongue in it?

do you remember that time?

do you?

i do.

Weasel Words

 

The ecology of weasel words
I can't even begin to explain how 
a hidden world extends its power
and seduction with a some might
say or and I heard or people would
agree, no.

Weasel words and their weight,
you never want to feed a fantasy
hope someone kills their bit and
moves on, it is myth like disease,
fur on the arteries,
the hope that kills.
