F Rations
Crippled little spheriod super-capsule
unsafe to outlive, the whole body
the WHOLE BODY of a strong people presents
you with
this
old gift certificate gene,
we trillion as one willed it
to be
spliced
into tin can F
enjoy
How Shall I Describe To You What
How shall I describe to you what
a life it was?
Scenes
Anonymous notary and a dog jump
ambitions, centered wholly in feats, realized
on “a grandly intimate” scale when “sailors” die
nearby
–the dog enjoying this as extra grooming
the notary as interesting obiter dicta–
November
“Willow crowns” and “gifts” and “kisses”
a crop of technical slang
right usage a game not worth
the
“candle”
Kinds of Pockets
A starship laden with diapers
what is a diaper but a pocket
yes — I guess — a kind
of pocket
a starship laden with giftwrap.
After those
two never
another.
