Delayed Refraction.

"planet earth III

Sometimes I let bad things happen
because they can be undone
but when they can’t…

I’m a hopeless frog in your laundromat
my spine is the length of a perfume sample

I’ve begun, inexplicably, to dream
of spare heels in sex cars
and nightclubs next to just-blown volcanos

there’s this shredded chimp vagina
this bludgeoned jackfruit
dragging the Ugandan jurisprudence
it informs me that globalization
is a tenement apartment
like the one I fucked you in

before me flicker tasteful cinematics
of chiming hazel dogs
eating my roommate
she evolved to be
exactly this afraid

I pet the rabbit fur ushanka
feel toward it
a useless maternal emotion
it shivers black light
I pet it
again and again

the salt on the road glitters
like meth at a lavender angle
we’ve babysat this night before
the EBT screen broaching
the subject of faith

snow accrues—
it thinks I’m dead
dead like a mother monkey"

Visualization and sonification.

The universe does have a consciousness & the feeling is one of constant mild irritation, which we perceive as entropy.
