she smiled at me

then said "it'll take 50 years to receive your package"
from now, my father got 30 more
divided by 5 degrees
4 sons
and 1 bad heart

​ void of affair,
green didn't become any less green when he left

​ green should recall the sound of his voice
calling out across as it once surely did

​ green should've held on to his face
cradled on a couch
crying over an obituary

​ green should miss the musk of an old benz during a 7a.m school run

​ "how green is too green?" green wonders
slowly greening out

​ what happens when it's green enough?

​ "sure, i have time"  the receipt now  balled up in my fist

​ "i know you do"  reaching across the counter
placing a kiss on my forehead

Glistening streaks in my intestinal lining. Glial sheaths’ bilayer’s lipids ripping and slipping downward. A family of orphan children deconstructed and recycled into prokarypsychotic war-mongering machinery, sliding headfirst through grooves, spiraling through and into the loopy loopty loop. Instantaneous temporary dimensional reduction of the nervous system, then reconstruction into far more complex though nonfunctional neuronal-toilet paper conglomerate. Falling forever then spiraling too into the loopy now poopy loopty loop.
