Predator at Bay

Dead dog on road your eyes
are closed to all before you.

You silently shift in the alabaster
moon glow of traffic death.

How can this be the same world
as all the others?

turn around and face it


β€œLust/Caution” is always in my queue
right behind β€œThe Iceman Cometh”

Like some random particulate
like something I don’t control

One of many things I’ll never get to
like Capoeira or bonsai trees.

(I feel pain the way sunlight feels pain
when trapped inside an ice cube)


turn around and face it


The thing that makes it hard to talk
when no one else is talking

The thing that made them make Osiris

the thing that makes us make robots


Deep Blue, you beat me

All the things I’ve gathered
are stuck outside the door.
