we | 1 |
rushed in and out of places | 2 |
with bare glimpses of jellyroll planets | 3 |
full of fat frenchmen and crouching mimes | 4 |
dressed in candystripe green and yellow | 5 |
wooped crazy with silent laughter | 6 |
| |
i pinched your arm with glee and watched | 7 |
your small white teeth sparkle and explode | 8 |
with chips of atoms stolen from | 9 |
the mall on the moon | 10 |
| |
our rocket stalled in a crossroads cloudbank | 11 |
backlit by summer storm | 12 |
we caught ourselves on fire | 13 |
with the rhetoric of love minus zero | 14 |
gravity | 15 |
| |
you didn't dare blink | 16 |
at the galactic dance where all | 17 |
the one eyed women wore the | 18 |
masks of old gods | 19 |
and winked at themselves | 20 |
in a gallery of twisted mirrors | 21 |
cast in starsmoke | 22 |
| |
still smiling | 23 |
limitless earth loomed up on | 24 |
the port side asking us to | 25 |
identify ourselves | 26 |
too late we crashed into a | 27 |
small cup of oolong tea and | 28 |
swam away in a steaming sea. | 29 |
