At what point
must we divide
Prospero?

It's when I was
inserted
involuntarily
into the
universe
that the
trouble
started

A mysterious woman
reached out to me
online yes online
and asked me
what are you looking for?
someone, I said, with a huge
and cleverlerly broke it in two
sense of humor
"please send me a picture of yours
this is non-negotiable"
she sent me a picture
and, well, I checked the box
anyway

This arcing line
we know
this line
as it rises away
crests its charge
and begins to fall
gracefully
then lands
ungainly

I have no idea
I didn't even
write this

Nobody hears
anything
  I love you
ever

Someone said
in my head
about
my poetry
