these immanent needs are as real as anything
serendipitous leaps of inconsistency
geneticists agree that’s how evolution embarks
upon its quest for self realization
satiation of our defenestrated hearts
time spent lying in forests
doing cartwheels and somersaults
or rolling backwards down the hill
our merchandise spills on the dirt
and we laugh as girls take off their shirts
how these words fill me with desire
i am consummated in the fire
of love
