I
I’m not playing here
this is real
like looking up and wondering a little
about nothing really
clipping thought coupons
into a phone
on the backs of Denny’s’ receipts
that’ll be worth while on sale
maybe a cradle
a rocking chair for an aching back
or a shovel
'cause that's all that really matters
II
but I cannot bring myself to
do what we (brothers) have done
videotapes donutting for unblinking eyes
blurry words, maybe
faster than (the) sea
mathematical and black
reflecting (truth)
what really matters
the violence of things that mean something
that pump the kroovy
that crumple old
inky receipts
thrown
III
they warp the desk
spinning the world into the anaphora of a pale blue dot
a period
a full stop
