the Decay of Perfection

Dear Adulterer

 

the present is the only girl worth living

for in her bed is where you

always are

 

time brings about the decay of perfection

 

always,

breathe

 

and lend half a knee to the ground

 

to send naked prayers to the sky

for wifi—

we are supposed

to be our ancestor’s sci-fi.
