I bend to my ends. Surplus rosaries

meltdown in a warehouse fire. I am

captured by satellite and interpreted by dandelions

as I enact distant moons in postproduction, take

the hit and sit, listen to the music of

my Self. I am a host of homeless riffs

in need of songs to marry into. I am my own

host, lost of all lives, and peckish as a parakeet.

I take the stand on The Dinosaur, look to

the sky and have no fear of our future, so

I stare my timeline in the eye and refuse the social

blindfold of the panopticon. You must see me bodily

when you fire.
