from LA LA LA

shape up clouds
one of these days
people are bound
to look up
be amazed
to classify
butterflies and moths
remember their lives
in the cocoon
we too will come out
of some forest to see
a marooned submarine
what are these leagues
under the sea
how do I become one
corrections facility
has a great ring to it
don’t you think
speaking of which
there are crazy hopes
Chris
we’re all pretending
to be brave
or afraid
in other words
the mask of a Mexican
wrestler
what is art
lament
a little jilt
no need
to tell you
these stupid clouds
won’t move
by themselves
it’s exhausting
trying
to stop time
