an emptiness
in space,
so I
am mostly an emptiness
in feeling—
and no, the two
are not the same thing,
as that feeling
is what keeps me from
demolishing
the world.

Picture
your discretion
getting massacred
by gestures:
god begets
light
begets
reliance—or
suspicion.
*
Our lookalikes
are all defective,
but
don't say that out loud.
Would you settle instead
for a happiness
contingent?
Or vicarious?
Or how about
a "later"
encircling your "now"
with all the exactness
of an electron cloud?
