ETYMOLOGY IS HOT
oblivion just sounds cool
what’s the opposite
of a country
take me there
I learned love
is possible
in the self-help section
we made out a little
oblivion oblivion oblivion
SAMPSONSTARKWEATHER
ARS POETICA
“quasimodo” I sometimes think
for no reason
akin to a thin magic
light conjuring
each night is a room
we tiptoe out of
like an extra body
to store all this
excess beauty
spiritual detritus
and junk of the soul
the rent is ridiculous
may it be like rain
and all that falls
goes the old saying
though I tend to leave
language
to its druthers
this could just as well
be a drawing
I sometimes think
no horses
were harmed
in the making of this poem
