vircapio gale Oct 2012
solitaire at seven--
i placed chestnuts on the cards
to cheat and win.
you told me what DNA was
after teaching me the game







.
when i trade syllables between lines, to cheat at form but achieve the content i want, it's a similar pleasure. i don't consider gene therapy unfair, necessarily, but it's an irresistible metaphor
vircapio gale Oct 2012
midnight piano--
a hand on my shoulder
and tears drop
vircapio gale Oct 2012
i gave him my last
five bucks, for tales of war, his
preference for stars
vircapio gale Oct 2012
thin lines
tie us freely
to juxtapose a concrete lie
vircapio gale Oct 2012
love outleashed
from hidden zones--
piano found
vircapio gale Oct 2012
empty theatre--
an audience of one
cries for music
vircapio gale Oct 2012
woot for when i feel you understand
woot for private mysteries of only being me and you
woot for games of lashing raw and scintillating *** in discord's after-thaw

woot for being true
for lies so old they utter love in corners never new.

woot for google's Timbuktu and Timbuctoo and Timbuktoo
woot for w00t

for chasing names into an aether sigh of history
forming castles in the mind,
stonewalling issues to the end of time

woot for fruit.
