spilled from their canister
into the kitchen sink
the building blocks of matter
float counterclockwise
everything flattens into a low graph
domestic vortex
where a crab nebula drowns
calculation on a matchbook
delivers a dismal minus of rain
the dry calcium sky won’t release
nothing to see in the kitchen
pull up another cat rescue
video delights the merciful
everything flattens into a low graph
blue Danube of high society gone
muddy with chunks of soaked bread
in a paper shortage recycle crumbs
the dry calcium sky won’t release
