the quality/quantity connection

would have been nice for you
to have delivered it
with like a mariachi, and maybe some pizza rolls,
timothy hay, alfalfa...
you could have gotten all dressed up,
hired a small dog in a cute sweater
to gently drop it at my feet.
but I guess you’re busy or something.

before you start these lessons,
take some time with your whip.
quietly rub it all over your body.
once you are comfortable
you'll be able to use it like a puppet
to engage  the alien tangled in your head,
with the most universal of languages: laughter

hot air balloons,
the trembling leaves,
change in light and shadow
patches of daisies and weeds
all potential triggers
for flight

so she spooks?
been known to bolt

training should begin at home
alter your tone
to indicate stability

you start biting,
I’ll be like, damn baby, what the fuck
un-hitch that taut line
on them drawstrings.

yeah.

but then, you know,
when
we do, we
synchronize--
(them kids gone be traumatized)
