channel
we omit the axial tilt
we float on; act like
life is not oblique.
like what collapsed Nana
or how we met
turning a corner
was anything more
than entropy.
afternoons in a beam
are formed from
the same chaos
that causes fatal crashes.
nothing makes sense
all the time. my advice:
unbridle your mind.
put mayhem in your pocket.
want everything. devour.
we have no ruler to bow to.
be as observant as birds:
how they fly in dozens
and never collide.
