PEOPLE ARE GRAVITATING TOWARD A SIMPLER WAY OF LIFE
Instead of eating watching videos
other people's hands toss garlic and penne in a hot pan
the sensations of hunger must be acknowledged
from room to room the cat rolls her jingle ball
potatoes in darkness shoot greens from their eyes
gray shapes moving in the bed, cloudbanks churn and amass
is this citrine the glow of paradise
the glow of pineapple rings in caramel cake
and toxic frogs so small a hundred make a handful
instead of sleeping
keeping in business the satanic factories
steaming the floral dress to look more teacherly tomorrow
letting the faucet run its mouth
letting the piano sleep while in the weeds
the rats romance their siblings
