Closing your eyes
Doesn’t mean
Life doesn’t happen
*
I can see
Thru the window
The world in bloom

Theo said,
Don’t worry. Don’t stew.
You’ll start happening too.

God said,
Watch me light this shit on fire
(Talking about the sky)
*
What if
I cut off my ear
Like Vincent?
*
What if
We kissed
In front of Mona Lisa?
*
What if
Words that meant a lot
Still mean a lot?
*
What if
The stratus blanket
Fell and smothered us?
*
Dog spelled backwards
Is God
But you knew that
*
Enuf spelled backwards
Is fune
Which isn’t a word
*
Thinking about
That Cummings line of poetry
Tattooed on Tiny’s arm
*
Thinking about deth
Because how do you
Not
