In The Water

A chunk of space junk
crashed through my
bedroom window at
speeds magnitudes less
than how light and sound
travel some time in the
very recent past, like
last night or some other
colloquialism that means
a little while ago, and I saw
a tall drink of water
tell me that hydrogen
and oxygen are illusions
that the chemical pushers
are trying to sell to the
world at large for the
bargain basement price
that are their precious
nerve cells, and then I
suddenly woke up seeing
and wondering why a tube
of toothpaste with cartoon
hands and feet was singing
a song by the Dave Matthews Band
at the foot of my king-sized bed.

There must be something in the water.

Sweet. Did you watch a documentary on water fluoridation conspiracies? That'll do it every time. Awesome.

. reading your poetry is always a unique experience ... you draw from a well of unique images, insights and concepts ... "a tube of toothpaste with cartoon hands" is just one such example ... and yes ... "there must be something in the water" ... hopefully something lasting and inspiring ...
