WHERE THE KNOWING IS NOT SATISFIED, A HUNGER FOR MORE QUESTIONS

It's Monday again,
so you think

and you chew
as slowly as possible

a new,
cartoon-
red apple

to help dissemble
your true

motivations awhile—those of
knowing,

in the sense of:
absorbing,

destroying,
reconstituting,
and exploiting

pure form and matter

at the causal behest of some
mysterious alleged

form of all forms,

and with the casual
grace of that

penultimate
tool of all tools, your spindly

spare hand,
with the dominant one,
meanwhile, off somewhere

googling
absent-mindedly—
for conciliatory

cat memes about Mondays.
