carrots

2009

lost in your

alphabet cereal i

can almost hear

the ocean burning red

crocodiles into the

span of foggy night

jersey dank sewer air

infects and distorts as

a disease tumor

and now you

shudder to run

the swirly cigarette

butts smeared along the interstate

i'd fly across the sea of

brine and sewage just to hear

your spoon hit my bowl

not a word
