by Lesle Lewis

Happy for nothing， we could be with no dinner to cook.

Absence is gigantic in our heads and houses.

We‘re old and it’s bold to say so standing¹ at the kitchen counter with the flashing red things.

The clock says midnight and we say yes.

When we go out， time always pays.

We spike² our heads with copper³ ions and picnic with the breast explorers.

We‘re riding the earth.

Non-motion is impossible.
