Love Poem #





this should probably start as an apology
for all the deforestation i could not stop
and the unethical treatment of monkeys caged
but i was deep into my delta waves
when the plunged syringe drew away

I'd like to remember things as they were
when the earth and sun and tribes were young
oh, how smoke dancing in light held us for days
we saw everything
or were willfully double blind

between our fingers, between our tips
insert time and space
insert mega cities reaching the heavens
insert urban sprawl encroaching
upon your beauty
bland asphalt annexing hips

it was, needless to say, confusing
searching for familiar in lands destroyed by man
armed with disregard for civil engineers

forget the proven, the practical, the pragmatic

Higgs was right,
but what does that mean to me?
I've been looking at things too small for too long
I, who used to breath world electric
and saw not with eyes, but with hands
never trying to prove any of it
how do you falsify
Andromeda shinning in eyes given to July?

All the discarded discovers will do me better
objective knowledge is pedantic
in your arms, in our bed
the universe discovers itself
