everyday, more bad
everyday, more bad
news for chicken and those who
love them – we count down
every egg cracked as every egg
eaten and count up our blessings

after one more of
after one more of
these bomb cyclones, we are in
flux, deviating
from script, preparation, and cry
wolf storylines, deer in headlights

every tragedy
every tragedy
forces us into tunnel
vision – it takes a
community to draw us
back out, save us from ourselves

whether we like it
whether we like it
or not, we are exposed to
the paralyzing
virus of complacency –
the shows must go on and on

all day, i keep
all day, i keep
forgetting that you
left us this morning,
and even now, when
i quiet my heart to
take in the news, i
hear old news, when
you called eight years
ago to say that he’s
gone, and do not be
sad, it was so peaceful,
you were reading to him
as he sat in his favorite
chair, and then
you were reading.
tonight, i am not ready
for the details just yet.
there are no brave
messengers. you are
gone, but not yet gone

sooner or later,
sooner or later,
or for some time already,
we will find ourselves
in the same shoes, one
against the faceless
many who conjure
corporate legalese
that secures them
a place at the table –
in the board room,
we are all little men,
forgetting
and unforgetting
we do this to ourselves

when i heard today
when i heard today
that NASA had discovered
a new solar system with seven
earth-like planets, i sighed
thank god as if i were
closer to getting off
this one. other lures:
the system’s star
is an ultracool
dwarf named TRAPPIST-1,
no abrahamic relations, and
cosmically speaking,
40 light years away
is only right next door
