in the early days of
discovering
teleportation, people flocked
in and out of
cities, towns, endangered
ecosystems, any
place they could
imagine.

to make up new and old
excuses for why they
couldn’t drop in on
loved ones, spend any
more time than before

eliminator widgets, quantum
dissociation syndrome,
the cost, work, dog duties.
the excuses couldn’t
have imagined better
champions, we can
stop imagining teleportation

in the middle of nowhere,
between interstate

highways, surfing across eighteen
wheelers, on top of the world

perhaps we are one
quarantine holiday away
from breaking, and five

million people hum mid-flight:
this is it, pack your bags, let’s go

freshly peeled and sliced apple
