NOT ANYMORE

In the future we imagine,
there is still

gravity,
and obviously plenty

of ground,
but there's no more falling

off and down, because there
aren't any

wagons.

*

To get into fighting
shape, you cannot just run—

you've got to start lifting 
and lowering

the stakes—in a smooth and controlled  
manner, at a super-

slow cadence, until—
failure.

*

A Haiku: wasn't

that—your last name they just used

on the evening news?

*
 
I didn't tell you this
at the time

or else

you wouldn't have ventured
this far out—but

it's like

kidding
and being dead

serious at the same time—

from now on
you're always going to feel

hungry, but not really 

for 
anything.
